Location: Silvaplana (1790 m)      by: Giuseppe Marzulli
Area: Switzerland      Date: 23 October 2024
Lake Silvaplana is a lake in the Upper-Engadine valley of Grisons. It takes its name from the village of Silvaplana. Together with its larger neighbour, Lake Sils, it is among the largest lakes of the Grisons.
Lake Silvaplana is overlooked by several mountains over 3.000 metres, but due to the bad weather, little can be seen.
The autumn colors of the area are very beautiful.
Nietzsche spent his summer holidays there for many years.

Maybe "thus spoke Zarathustra" means Paul ;-) !? Anyway, wonderful autumn mood and panorama.

Cheers, Hans-Jörg

It seems that Nietzsche found the inspiration to write Thus Spoke Zarathustra during a walk around this lake.
Unfortunately the lake only inspired me to eat a slice of walnut cake. Is it due to the bad weather? ;-)

;-) oh yes, the delicious walnut cake is definitely a better choice than reading works of Nietzsche, even if the depressive mood would also go well with it ;-) ... by the way, the walnut cake was better than any "Müsli-Riegel" at the Rifugios in this region !!
