Just one more mountain..

Two days before leaving Europe, Kirsten decided she wanted to ride another mountain pass! We consulted the map to choose the closest one and jumped on a train at 5.30am. The "Pragelpass" connects the towns of Glarus and Schwyz and is 1550m high. The altitude difference to ride up from Glarus is 1100m and the steepest section has an incline of 18%.

Unfortunately, the day started with another flat tyre.

First break at the gorgeous lake of Kloental.

Leaving the lake towards the pass. The riding was surprisingly easy, which might have something to do with the fact that we had 10kg less luggage or 7 weeks of riding in our legs.

We thought we had a long way to go and had another break. It turned out to be 5 minutes from the top!

A long downhill run!
