The Worst Place On Earth You've Been To

I know what you mean mate, absolutely beautiful country - it's expensive true, that's the only downside.

I went there when I was 25 and loved it. We stayed at the bottom of a valley in the Jungfrau region, and the grass was as green you get. The thing is even though it was Summer, there was still snow in the alps, and as it was melting, the water would fall all over into the valley, and there were watersfalls all around us. These waterfalls culminated into a large body of water which would run right down through the middle of the valley. In order to get from where we were staying to the other side, you would cross and old wooden bridge (which was structurally sound), but just how preserved and old fashioned everything was, and naturally beautiful, was something I would never forget.

Also... I would love to do this one day:

I think you and I have stayed at the same place. The little 'backpackers' with all the wooden cabins. It continued on the other side of that wooden bridge and they have an old bomb shelter that they've turned into a nightclub for tourists. My cabin was the nearest to the bridge so all night all I heard was the rushing water and people drunkenly laughing and walking back to their cabins.

That's probably right man, and you needed to walk about 10 mins to get to the nearest train station and catch 2 different train to get up into the alps right?

I'll never forget that place.

I think there was a train station about that far away, but I was on a BusAbout hop-on hop-off tour so I didn't need to look for it. I recall it was about a 2hr walk through the valley to get to the Schilthorn cable cars. That and Interlakken a short drive away are about my only reference points that I can think of at the moment!

But yeah, absolutely stunning place.
