Winter Sun
November 28 - 30, 2020
In the lowlands, fog reigns, while the weather in the mountains was unpredictable: blue skies at 9 am, barely seeing the neighbors at 10 am, enjoying lunch on the terrace with a free sunburn, and then at 2 pm the wind and fog returned, leaving us shivering.
Autumn Colors
October 30 - November 1, 2020
Red, orange, yellow, and green. All colors were present, the cows returned from the alpine pastures, and we had a truly breathtaking view to enjoy.
The Last Signs of Summer
July 26, 2020
It's hard to believe, but summer is almost over. Almost everything in the garden has bloomed and withered, and only a few flowers remain to admire. It has been an interesting year, and although it is coming to an end, there are still a few cold months ahead. I think this is the first year I have seen every single plant sprout, grow, and bloom.
Sumvitg: Fire Pit & St. Benedetg Chapel
July 25, 2020
We first grilled at the fire pit and observed a pair of wasp hawks (according to the identification book), then climbed up to the ruins of the old St. Benedetg Chapel to admire the new building at the other end of the village.
Summer Time
June 1, 2020
Corona is declining, and our visits to Disentis are becoming less frequent. We gladly give the rest of our relatives and acquaintances priority. Nonetheless, we still manage to secure a few weekends to enjoy the beautiful weather and the garden in Disentis.
Clavaniever Herons
April 19, 2020
The herons are here! And they are diligently building their nests or dancing together in the sky. Every year, a few more herons nest here above Disentis and raise their offspring.
The Garden Blooms ❀

Two weeks ago, the first plum buds were blooming, and today the garden is a sea of flowers.
April Fools,...
April 4, 2020
Spring is here! The weather was beautiful, and we could enjoy a delicious lunch soup outside in the sun with a thick sweater. That's the way to enjoy life.

Fog & Rain

It was wet, foggy, and a little dreary, but the first signs of spring were blooming in the garden.

Waterwheels
Clavaniev
Above of Disentis you can find some quite cute waterwheels at the stream Clavaniev besides the small town Clavaniev. They are built from one of the villagers and were not promoted. Now, you can find them on Google if you search for "Wasserräder Clavaniev". If you are nearby, check them out - we think, it’s worth it!
Disentis
2021
We were also in the mountains quite often this year - but I definitely forgot the camera at home too many times... Nevertheless, thanks to the pretty good iPhone camera and a few visits with the camera, there are also some pictures to admire this year.
Disentis
2019
One year, four visits to Disentis and the surrounding area.
I love the Swiss Alps, and especially this area.
