We traveled to Switzerland on the freeway, and we needed as soon as possible go to town, that at the exit of the tunnel Gotthard, which connects the Italian and German parts of the country.
on a bulletin board wrote that before the tunnel entrance tube length of 3 km. While we did continue to go forward or roll somewhere, we drove up to the tube, from which it was no longer roll, and in which, even though the machine and did not stand, and drove slowly in spurts, we had to spend about an hour. We are already expecting that just about very soon and he will Gotthard tunnel, but suddenly he was horrified to find that standing in line in front of one of the traffic signals that regulate the flow of cars long before the tunnel. That is, it turns out that it was not is the tube about which is written on the scoreboard, before that we simply have not yet arrived. My husband, like many men who can not bear to wait, so sitting in traffic jams for him worse than torture. As soon as he realized that in front of him waiting for another 3 km long tube. He immediately pulled off the freeway on ordinary roads, which, as it turned out, was through the San Gotthard mountain pass. We drove very fast, since we are already waiting in the town Göschenen on the other side of the pass, so the road did not have time to properly something to see. When it was time to go back, it turned out that the other side of the tunnel, too, turn, so back we went through the pass. But Now we have nowhere to hurry, so we always stayed in the most picturesque places.
Swiss - Well done on the mountain roads wherever possibly marked the place where you can put the car and pofotat. After several sharp turns, when seen from above at the same time and the valley, and road and rail road, mountain and river, we drove through a small tunnelchik to the parking lot, which was full of cars, so there must have been something very beautiful or interesting. All came out of their cars and went down somewhere. Well, we went there, although there was blowing strong and cold Vetrishche, but curiosity got the better.
distance, we noticed fluttering in the wind, Swiss and Russian flags. When we went downstairs and went to the site over the precipice, we saw a huge stone cross, carved directly into the rock and the giant inscription in Cyrillic:
DOBLESTNYM SPODVIZHNIKAM GENERALISSIMO
Field Marshal Count Suvorov RYMNIKSKAGO
PRINCE ITALiYSKAGO
POGIBSHIM AT TRANSITION CHEREZ Alps unto the year 1799
This was the very place of the famous Suvorov Crossing the Alps, which depicted the Surikov! Finally we are convinced of this when viewing the canyon with three bridges and the rapid flow of rumbling beneath them, saw on the rock an image feature with the kid, of course, It was the Devil's Bridge, about which they write in the history books.
The road led through the town of Andermatt with pretty wooden houses, small cozy squares and railway station, which is sent to travel by train, going on the next pass to the glaciers.
At the entrance to the pass top, we waited quite Chukchi scenery and several small lakes. In fact, the pass we saw a bronze statue depicting a soldier, a leading the horse on which sits a man very similar to most of Suvorov, a weedy, short stature, hair removed earlier. It was a monument to Generalissimo on the site of another battle Russian troops on the San Gotthard Pass.
