... 765 gehörten Güter in Supersaxa (Obersaxen) zum Herrenhof Ilanz, was auf eine Besiedlung hinweist. <br><br>Im 12./13.Jahrhundert kamen deutschsprechende Walliser nach Obersaxen. Dabei spielte das Kloster Disentis eine wichtige Rolle. Mehr dazu könnt ihr hier erfahren - http://www.gemeinde-obersaxen.ch/de/gem einde/geschichte/welcome.php?action=sho winfo&amp;info_id=282

... familiar green Series Land Rover travelling in the opposite direction. It was Gaz and Charlotte in the Lean Green Recycled macnine!! Of course we stopped and turned round, and they did the same. <br> <br>We were wondering why on earth they were on that road, but we soon found out they were on the way back towards Calais. The night before, things had proved too much for their motor, and they had problems ...

So, Liechtenstein. the smallest country in Europe. We got stooped at the border, and asked for our passports, and what we were doing there. No problems though, and we were soon on our way.<br><br>We were almost immediately at the Capital city, Vaduz. We were definitely not going to miss the chance to do the postcards etc. So we looked for somewhere to park. We drove around a bit and ...

So I'm staying in the alps in the mountains! The weather is comfortable, the beds...not so much. Had an insanely long "day" yesterday. The flight from NY was delayed and very long. I had trouble sleeping due to the crampyness of the seats and the bohemouth behind me who couldn't stop banging into my seat. Lovely times.We landed in Zurich at 3AM NY time, but it was 9AM here ...

... get on the bus I watched southern Liechtenstein roll past on the way to Vaduz. Cute villages with quaint houses, cows grazing in green pastures, and a castle sitting on a high hill surrounded by vineyards.<br><br>Vaduz is a very nice city. The royal residence, a castle of course, sits on a high cliff directly above the city centre. The main street is a pedestrian street with shops and restaurants, museums, the tourist office, the ...

After our day off we next went by train down along the Rhine Valley past the Canton of Appenzelle and the Finance Capital, Vaduz in Leichenstein. Vaduz and the Principality lies high on the side of the mountain which forms the border with Austria. Apart from the distant mountains this part of our journeys was I should say the least striking in scenic wonderment!! <br>

... very symetrical and therefore looking friendly to each other. Unlike the over crammed Victoriana that befalls most big city burial places in the UK. Each headstone in this neat place designed and carved by the most impressive sculptors. Nothing shoddy! No stucco angels! Each design suiting the background of its interred owner/s. Each burial piece planted up with a beautiful blanket of 'annuals'. Not to be missed by the casual visitor.<br>

... Boxing Day Racing etc.. During late June it proved somewhat damp for us! It rained on us, but then it seems to rain in the early evening in the mountains! <br> The return route following the Engadine river as pleasant an experience as the rest of the day trip to Poschiavo.<br>

8/31/99 Tuesday<br><br> Davos to St. MoritzWe woke up this morning to a beautiful, clear, cool morning. We didn't have any large clouds hovering over the mountains like we have had. (NOTE: Today we are off to the winter playground of the rich and famous&#8230;St. Moritz, via the Glacier Express. I am really looking forward to this trip.) We have been on the road for about 1/2 hour and the view is "to die for". We are not taking the motorway, instead the mountain roads that wind through ...

... Hotel Europe, we stopped for some ice cream. I see why Europeans like their ice cream so much. It is really rich, smooth and delicious. <br><br>Once we were back in the room, we started to get ready for dinner. We were heading up the Jakobshorn Mountain for dinner, via cable car (two of them, actually) to the top. I can&#8217;t wait to see the view from the top at night. The view from the cable car was incredible...you could see the entire valley. However, the restaurant was ...
