We went from Zurich station to Brienz via Interlaken East on 20th April . Brienz is located in the middle of charming mountains at the eastern end of turquoise-coloured Lake Brienz. The cosy village is the starting point for excursions to the Bernese Oberland and the Ballenberg Open-air Museum. Our hotel Weisses was just behind the narrow gauge Brienz station. From our hotel room we could enjoy the turquoise blue lake, morning sunrise and sunset on the snow clad mountains on our right and the pristine beauty of the little village. Next day on 21st April, after a sumptuous breakfast in the hotel, we checked out, left our luggage in the hotel and boarded the bus in front of our hotel and went to Ballenberg Open Air Museum through charming villages and enchanting landscapes.
Ballenberg is an open-air museum in Switzerland that displays traditional buildings and architecture from all over the country. Ballenberg has over 100 original buildings that have been transported from their original sites. There is also a sizable number of farmyard animals in the grounds.
We took a horse cart ride through the village roads and enjoyed the medieval Switzerland in perfect environment.
Then we returned to Brienz, collected our luggage from hotel and took train to Amsterdam station via Basel and Frankfurt. It was an overnight train and reached Amsterdam in the noon of 22nd April.
