Mountains and Forests to Replenish Your Spirit

These two natural havens will replenish your spirit and relax your mind.  Kleine Scheidegg is a spot where nature reigns, where you’ll  find yourself wanting to walk, hike and just breath in the views of the Swiss Alps. My visit to Kleine Scheidegg was a stop over on my way to Jungfraujoch. Visitors can stay in this tiny mountain pass at a lodge very near to the train station. This is a destination of simplicity with only a single lodge and a train station with a small restaurant. Kleine Scheidegg is a place of natural beauty for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Muir Woods with it’s giant old growth Coast Redwood trees is one of the most serene places you’ll find within fast driving distance to an urban area. Here you can walk a short distance and be enfolded in the silence of giant Redwood trees. If you enjoy hiking or walking Muir Woods offers  several hikes that take you through six miles of trails where you can enjoy the beauty of some of the last old growth Redwood trees on earth. Whether you can take the time for a Swiss adventure into the Alps or just a day trip to Muir Woods Monument outside of San Francisco you’ll find the natural beauty and silence replenish your spirit.
