My old friend Jan from Lower Saxony was visiting Switzerland and we couldn't miss a common hike. The three of us wanted to hike from Schwendeli to the Triftbrücke in the Bernese Oberland. This huge suspension bridge is 170 meters long and hangs 100 meters above a gorge at the Triftsee. The lake is fed by the Trift glacier, which has already shrunk massively. The idea was to hike even further to Windegghütte. However, my bruised knee had become inflamed again and was very painful, so we went back to the Trift bridge and took the gondola back to Schwendeli. This is why we finally made approximately 750 Hm in the ascent and 400 Hm in the descent.
