Urban golfing in Fribourg

We started the day with a little unconventional city tour. Golfing through the city combined with sightseeing and discovering new places. The golf clubs you can get at the tourist office of Fribourg and don't worry you reach   It is good if you have enough time to take this special tour of the city because you definitely discover interesting things and stunning views along the way. Our personal favourite was the hole No. 5.

A long the way we discovered "Le Port", a very nice, little, green oasis. It is definitely an insider tip for all visitors of Fribourg. This cool place only pops up in summertime and offers homemade specialties in its restaurant accompanied by a rich cultural programme. What an extraordinary place to spend a sunny summer evening.

Cheers with Appenzeller Alpenbitter

The Grand Tour of Switzerland continues to the Appenzellerland - so did we. This region we like due to its picturesque landscape, alive traditions and authentic customs. Our first stop was at the factory of the Appenzeller Alpenbitter. A young lady showed us the whole factory and in the end, we could try all of their products. 

Inside the herb room

It was just 11a.m. but we had no other choice than tasting the Appenzeller Alpenbitter, the herbal spirit from Appenzell. Since 1935 this Swiss original is made with 42 herbs and was regarded as medicine against stomach ache. What we've liked even more was the summer drink Ana's Sprizz, a liquor with the taste of pineapple, and the 9050 - cream liqueur.  The Appenzeller Alpenbitter is widely known in the whole country but especially in the Appenzellerland people drink it very often.

Cheers
