May 12, 2024,Hinterbergen🚡 -🐾🥾 Vitznauerstock (T4)⛰️🐾 - Vitznau👌🌞

We started our tour in Vitznau and took the yellow gondola🚡 up to Hinterbergen🌞from there up to the Vitznauerstock 🐶⛰️...Luckily with only one staircase...very challenging to walk on...good shoes definitely recommended...some paths only have a rope to hold on to.
We were super happy with how great our dogs did😃♥️
