Where I Live
March 21, 2013
Hi everyone!
Today I want to share some beautiful photos I took last Saturday here in Engelberg, Switzerland. That morning I went for a walk with our puppy Bentley and it was such gorgeous weather! I just had to snap some shots ;)
I've lived in Engelberg since July 2012. I moved here to live with my boyfriend who has already lived here for about 5 years.
Engelberg (exact translation: angel mountain) is a town in the canton of Obwalden (Switzerland has 26 cantons in total). The population is roughly 4000 people and it's 1000 meters (3281 feet) above sea level. This is quite a popular ski resort in the winter time so you meet many tourists and foreigners here. The town is surrounded by the alps, so you basically have magnificent views from every angle.
Hope you enjoy my photos :)
This is the view from outside our apartment building. Our building is

This cute lil Swiss chalet type house is 2 minutes from our building up the hill.
A small chapel 3 minutes away from our building.
I've actually never been inside!

We went on a walk to the lake which is about 10 minutes from our apartment.
This is a man-made lake, gorgeous, and the water is used for electricity and flows down from the mountain.

Bentley loves the snow!
I absolutely love going on walks around the lake, the views are so gorgeous!
You really feel like you're on vacation here.
