At the Fog Line in the Swiss Jura (8)

At the Fog Line in the Swiss Jura (8)

Between the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps lies the Swiss Plateau [Swiss Midlands]. It is some 50 km wide and extends 300 km from Lake Geneva in the southwest to Lake Constance in the northeast. At this time of the year, this natural basin is often filled with fog.

Hiking just above the fog line I find really fascinating. The sea of fog, in German ‘Nebelmeer’, is highly dynamic and changes its appearance constantly.

Today’s photo shows snow-covered trees on Hasenmatt summit [1’444 m above sea level]. In the background you can see a tiny bit of the fog-filled Swiss Plateau.

Merry Christmas to all of you! May your heart be filled with joy and your wishes come true!
