Random Swiss Town.
We had a beautiful ride along the lake after leaving Nyon, and every now and then we would drive through a town like this. At normal speed, and if you don't obey the speed regulations, if you were to blink with the right timing, you wouldn't even notice you passed through a village. Don't worry, of course we were good bikers and followed all posted speed limits in the towns.
We decided to stop and walk around for a few minutes at this place. It was really a perfect day; the temperature was about 25 and the roads were free from traffic. Just a little further up the road I stood on while taking this picture, we turned north and rode into the mountains. At that point, the decision had to be made to either stop every 3 minutes to take pictures, or to twist my right wrist and enjoy the roads - I chose the second option, but I still want to tell you about the road we were on.
As we climbed up the mountains, the ground was noticeably more rocky. And the farmers and country-folk took advantage of that by building elaborate and ridiculously long stacked-stone walls - It looked like a scene from Ireland. The walls also lined both sides of the roads, and the roads were twisty and very well paved. If I had to design the perfect riding roads with the perfect scenery, this wouldn't be far from what I would imagine.
