Beatenberg: Day 4 … One Last Detour

July 21 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

There are many side roads branching off the main road we’ve been driving between Beatenberg and Interlaken. One of them has a sign pointing to a place called Waldegg. By the time we reached that junction today, the rain that had begun as we were leaving Gsteigwiler had let up. With our time here nearing its end, we decided to do a quick detour to check it out.
