🇨🇭 Do you love a good legend? Because we're 🇨🇭 Do you love a good legend? Because we're suckers for one, and Teufelsbrücke (the Devils Bridge) in Switzerland has one. ° By the year 1230, locals near the modern-day town of Andermatt were desperate for passage across the raging Reuss River where it cuts through Schöllenen Gorge. They decided to strike a deal with the Devil. In exchange for him building them a bridge, the townspeople promised the soul of the first one to cross it. ° So the Devil built the bridge. And the day came when it was time for the townspeople to keep their end of the bargain. But nobody was brave enough to cross the bridge and relinquish their soul. Instead, they sent a goat across. ° Apparently goats have souls? ° Either way, the Devil was NOT happy at the treachery. (We can only imagine what happened to the goat.) ° Snatching up a huge rock, the Devil headed toward the bridge. Just before he let loose, an old woman approached him and marked the stone with the sign of the cross. The Devil threw the stone, but miraculously the bridge was spared! ° #TravelTip: Visitors can still visit the 220-ton stone hurled by the Devil near the town of Göschenen. It's called the Teufelsstein, or Devils Rock. ° Thinking of visiting? Ya might want to check out our post. We'll tell you how not to get lost like we did - twice - on the way to Teufelsbrücke. 😳🙈 ° #BlogPost ↪️https://www.twosmallpotatoes.com/teufelsbrucke-the-devils-bridge/ ° #teufelsbrücke #devilsbridge #andermatt #uri #inlovewithswitzerland #feeltheAlps #myswitzerland #FemaleTravelBloggers #outdooradventure #alpinebabes #hikingwithdogs #Switzerlandtourism #livelifeoutside #mountainadventures #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #taterstravels #proudtobeftb #gltlove #offbeattravel #outsideisfree #bestofeurope #lonelyplanet #travelcouple #travelbug
🇨🇭 Every landscape has its beauty, but we #c 🇨🇭 Every landscape has its beauty, but we #choosemountains every time. It's not a place we go or something we do; it's who we are. ° We grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and even though we currently live in and travel mostly in Europe, we still find ourselves seeking out the best and biggest mountains we can find. ° Luckily there's no shortage of breathtaking mountains in Switzerland. One of our favorite hikes is to Aletsch Glacier, which has been part of the protected Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. Twenty-two kilometers long and a kilometer thick at its deepest, Aletsch is the longest glacier in the Alps! ° Lots of trails parallel the glacier, and one leads right to the base of it where you can hear the ice groaning deep inside. It's pretty wild. ° #TravelTip: Getting to Aletsch can be pretty confusing. It's high above the town of Bettmeralp, which is a car-free town, and is only accessible by cable car. Our article below has a detailed map and useful travel guide for those adventurous enough to tackle the 17.5 km hike! ° #BlogPost ↪️https://www.twosmallpotatoes.com/aletsch-glacier-hike/ ° @choosemountains @choosemountainswomen #aletschglacier #inlovewithswitzerland #feeltheAlps #myswitzerland #unesco #FemaleTravelBloggers #outdooradventure #alpinebabes #hikingwithdogs #Switzerlandtourism #livelifeoutside #mountainadventures #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #testedtough #taterstravels #proudtobeftb #gltlove #offbeattravel #outsideisfree #bestofeurope #lonelyplanet

It's also the only country in Europe that's entirely within the alpine region. This makes it a fabulous destination for adventurers like us who love offbeat travel with stunning natural landscapes! ° Vaduz Castle is the private residence of the royal family of Liechstenstein. Check out our blog post for info about how to visit the castle and more fun facts about Liechstenstein. ° #TravelTip: The castle is closed to the public, but it's still pretty from the outside. ° #Blogpost ↪️ https://www.twosmallpotatoes.com/vaduz-castle-liechtenstein/ ° #vaduzcastle #vaduz #liechtenstein #princelymoments #travel #travelblogger #photography #Europe #bestofeurope #castle #travelgram #taterstravels #havecamerawilltravel #girlslovetravel #FemaleTravelBloggers #travelcouple #offbeattravel #womenwhoexplore #rural_love #picoftheday #natgeotravel #lpfanphoto #Alps
🇩🇪 From our family to yours, Merry Christmas 🇩🇪 From our family to yours, Merry Christmas! ° As expats in Europe, we usually travel over the holidays, but this year we stayed home. We didn't plan to stay in town, but in many ways, it's been a welcome change. ° For the first time in five years, we bought and decorated a tree. On Christmas morning, we slept in late, snuggled up later to watch a movie under the twinkly glow of our tree, and sipped spiced homemade apple cider. We called family back home in Washington and Idaho. We played with our dog and watched our cat sleep. 😂 We just enjoyed a quiet holiday together at home, grateful for the blessings of the past year and hoping for strength and clarity in the face of some big challenges in the year to come. ° Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! ° #hanover #expatlife #rollwithus #Europe #postcardsfromtheworld #travelcouple #travelbug #travelblogger #liveyourownadventure #womenwhowander #womenwhotravel #Christmas2019 #Christmas #family #meaningofchristmas #gratitude #touilletheterrier @brisco.fat.pants
🇩🇪 Every year, Travis and I have a tradition 🇩🇪 Every year, Travis and I have a tradition of buying a single Christmas ornament to add to our Christmas tree. Even during years when we're traveling for the holidays and don't have a tree, we still buy an ornament. ° When we do put up a tree, we love unwrapping each ornament and remembering little details about each one - this one from a Christmas market in Austria, that one from a chocolate festival in Germany. Our ornament this year is a pair of fuzzy wooden ice skates that reminds us of ice skating with our nieces and nephews in Oregon. ° May you and your loved ones make many happy memories this holiday season! ° #hanover #hannover #niedersachsen #Christmasmarket #weihnachtsmarkt #travel #expatlife #TatersTravels #rollwithus #visitgermany #Europe #girlslovetravel #postcardsfromtheworld #travelcouple #travelbug #travelblogger #liveyourownadventure #womenwhowander #womenwhotravel #Christmas2019 #christmasornaments #iceskates #Christmas
🇩🇪 This is our first winter living in Hanove 🇩🇪 This is our first winter living in Hanover, which means we were excited to visit the Hanover Christmas Market. It's not the oldest or biggest in Germany, but we loved it nonetheless. So sparkly! ° The market is unique for having one of the smallest Ferris wheels you'll ever see and one of the biggest trees glittering with thousands of lights. Make sure to try a steaming mug of Feuerzangenbowle - mulled wine spiked with rum filtered through a burning sugar loaf. It's our favorite Christmas market specialty. 😋🥴 ° #TravelTip: The main market typically opens at the end of November and runs through December, ending a few days before Christmas. Its final day for 2019 was December 22nd, but if you missed it this year, there's always next year! ° @germanytourism #hannover #hannover #niedersachsen #Christmasmarket # #weihnachtsmarkt #travel #expatlife #TatersTravels #lowersaxony #visitgermany #germanytourism #Europe #dogfriendly #girlslovetravel #postcardsfromtheworld #travelcouple #travelbug #travelblogger #gltlove #liveyourownadventure #womenwhowander #womenwhotravel #Christmas2019
