October 4, 2025,(UR) Realp - Teufelsbrücke - Andermatt

Seems like the devil keeps throwing stones 🙈 The pedestrian and cycle path from the bridge to Göschenen is closed (indefinitely) due to a rockfall.

But this whole valley is simply a dream. 🥰❤️‍🔥My soul could move freely everywhere, my head was empty of thoughts, I simply chatted with the yaks and cows I met along the way 🤭🤭😇😍
