This is my second visit to Mount Schynige Platte. On June 29th, the weather was overcast. I took the train from Interlaken to Wilderswil, then transferred to a mountain train to Schynige Platte. I hiked on trail number 60 to reach Daube, with an altitude of 2076 meters. From the summit, you can look down upon Lake Brienz, whose blue waters are set like turquoise in the valley. Mount Schynige Platte also has an Alpine Garden. Inside the station, there is a small museum that introduces the cultivation of flowers and some botanical knowledge.
