Having spent a year (1966-67) in Winterthur an der Oberrealschule in Winterthur and then having been back as often as possible over the intervening >5 decades, I applaud your website on the CH. It is a lot of work and very well done. I cruised some of your hiking ideas, places I have been and a few I have yet to see, and say many thanks. I hope by now your Schwyzertuutsch is pretty good as well! Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind message. My Schwyzertuutsch is a mess, all mixed with up with Schriftdeutsch and a heavy American accent. But I manage 🙂
