There had been a fine dusting of snow over the mountains on the eastern side of the Southern Alps the week before we arrived so I was surprised to see snow at such low altitudes especially in early autumn.

This is a view of the Alps from Tegelberg, Germany. The mountain peak on the far left, in the distance, is Zugspitze. It is the highest mountain peak in Germany. It's a lovely site. If there are places that cause a person to reflect on nothing else but the pure beauty before them, to be in awe, to be humbled by such a creation, this is one of them.

I didn't know we're going to drive by and through the Alps on our way to see a castle. It was a pleasant surprise, and I just couldn't put my camera down.
The Kleine Scheidegg (2061 m.) is a high mountain pass below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. It connects Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen. The name means "minor watershed", even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. Possibly this is because Kleine Scheidegg is a watershed between the two arms of the Lütschinen river, while Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschinen valleys from the Reichenbach.
On the Kleine Scheidegg are hotels, as well as the station of the two rack railways, the Wengernalpbahn (since 1893) and the Jungfraubahn (since 1896). The Wengernalpbahn has two branches; one begins at Grindelwald; the other commences at Lauterbrunnen and climbs to the pass via Wengen. The Jungfraubahn travels within the Eiger and Mönch and up to a terminal at the Jungfraujoch.
In winter, the Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route.
