Lanena travel guide and discussion

I haven't been able to change my wallpaper since returning from Switzerland... Because the photos of Interlaken and Grindelwald are just too unbelievable 🇨🇭🥹 Switzerland wasn't just a matter of "Wow, it's pretty"; it was a continuous series of "Is this scenery real...?" The first thought that crossed my mind as soon as I arrived in Interlaken 👇 "How do people here manage to stay so stressed?" Even the air feels different lol. It felt like my lungs were being purified just by breathing. I could see snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the river water was fluorescent emerald green; seeing the actual color of the water made me lose all sense of reality. And in Switzerland, travel time is the sightseeing itself 🚞 I took the train from Interlaken OST to Grindelwald, and the scenery outside the window was just like a Windows desktop background playing on autoplay. Sheep running around 🐑, meadows stretching out 🌿, treehouses appearing here and there 🏡, and the Alps following me the whole time ⛰️. Here is a really important tip‼️ When going from Interlaken to Grindelwald Definitely sit by the window on the right. The moment the Eiger North Face came into view, everyone fell silent lol. And as soon as we got off at Grindelwald, I thought, "Ah... now I understand why people go crazy for Switzerland." It’s seriously unfair here; you can take a picture anywhere and it’s a shot of a lifetime. Seriously, if you just walk down the street and say, "Let's take a picture here," it turns out like a magazine photoshoot 📸. Something particularly funny lol. The scenery is so surreal that every time we checked a photo we took, we kept saying, "Doesn't this look like a composite image?" When we went up to First, I was literally gaping in amazement. As we rode the gondola up, the view below gradually shrank, making it look like a village straight out of a fairy tale. And the First Cliffwalk... If you have a slight fear of heights, your legs might tremble, but the photos are insanely good, just as scary as it is scary. Honestly, you could secure three years' worth of profile photos with the pictures taken here 📷. Here's another great tip‼️ You have to go to First early in the morning. If you go late, it gets crowded, so it's hard to get that signature Swiss vibe shot lol. Also, I was nervous because I heard Swiss prices are scary, but surprisingly, the supermarkets saved me. I raided COOP and ate sandwiches, yogurt, and chocolate, and the quality wasn't just like convenience store food. Especially the chocolate... since returning to Korea, I haven't bought expensive chocolate for no reason 🍫 (Though prices really are high...) Oh, and the best moment of my trip to Switzerland wasn't actually visiting tourist attractions, but just spacing out. I took a walk in Interlaken at night; it wasn't crowded, it was quiet, I could hear the sound of trains passing in the distance, and walking while feeling the cold air—it really felt like the ending scene of a movie. And public transportation is a whole new world 🚆. In Switzerland, trains arrive almost every second. Even though the transfer was only 4 minutes, I thought, "Nah, no way that's possible," but as soon as I got off, the train directly opposite arrived right away lol. Here are some great tips for travelers 👇 ✔️ Definitely install the SBB app ✔️ Sit by the window on the right side when traveling from Interlaken to Grindelwald ✔️ Go to First early in the morning ✔️ Bring a tumbler because water is expensive (you can drink Swiss water without a tumbler) ✔️ Don't make your schedule too packed Seriously, in Switzerland, a trip where you take your time and see things slowly leaves much more lasting memories than a trip where you try to see everything at once. And lastly… Switzerland was 738,282 times more beautiful in real life than in photos 🇨🇭✨

Grindelwald features the dreamy hillsides and Mount First. You have plenty of time to visit both in a single day. Transportation: We took the R61 train from Interlaken Ost to the final stop, Grindelwald (please note: this is not Grindelwald Terminal, but the final stop, Grindelwald). Dreamy hillsides: After getting off the train, walk in the opposite direction of the town center. Navigate to a gas station called "First Garage." It takes about 10 minutes to walk there. From the small path next to the gas station, continue walking downhill, and you will reach the filming location for the dreamy hillsides (Photos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Mount First: Walk back uphill to the gas station. There is a bus stop nearby where you can take a bus to Grindelwald town, then transfer to another bus to Mount First. Mount First offers plenty of activities. The cable car makes 3 stops, and each stop has recreational activities. Ticket options include a round-trip cable car ticket or a package that includes the cable car plus 2 or 3 activities. Discounts are available if you have a Swiss Pass. I recommend taking the cable car to the very top first. The activities at the summit are the First Flyer and First Glider. You can also hike to Lake Bachalpsee and the Cliff Walk (Photo 6). The Cliff Walk is a steel walkway built along the cliffside. It takes about 15 minutes to walk, offering panoramic views of the entire valley and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. If you are not afraid of heights, I highly recommend checking it out. From the cable car station, it is about a 3 km hike one-way to the alpine lake, Bachalpsee. You might see sheep and marmots along the way. However, there are many uphill sections on the dirt path, and since the altitude is over 2,000 meters, it requires a certain level of physical fitness. The second stop of the cable car offers mountain carts and trottibikes. Both activities allow you to cruise through the mountains, immersing yourself in the landscape of Mount First while seeing herds of cows and sheep. Besides these, some people bring their mountain bikes on the cable car and ride down from the mountain. Mount First is truly perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Grindelwald town is also very lively. There are many restaurants at the foot of Mount First, and it's a great place to explore. Important notes: 1. Mount First is at a high altitude, with the summit over 2,000 meters, so be prepared for potential altitude sickness. 2. The weather on the mountain changes very quickly. It was clear and sunny when we went up, but it started raining while we were on the cable car. Even when it's sunny, it's not warm, so bring a jacket and keep an eye on the weather. 3. Although helmets are provided for the mountain carts and bikes, please prioritize safety. Both activities involve downhill paths and steering through turns, so there is some level of risk involved.

Traveling to Australia from Poland is a logistical nightmare (over 24 hours in transit), but if you make the leap, Tasmania is a must-see. I did an intensive 5-day road trip in August (their winter). Here’s the straight talk—no fluff. First, a critical note for pet owners (I’m a dog owner myself, so I always look into this): Australia has the strictest regulations in the world. You cannot bring a dog into Tasmania’s national parks, even on a leash. Protecting native wildlife is their top priority. So, if you're planning this trip, your furry friends will have to stay home this time. Quick, Practical 5-Day Itinerary: 📍 Days 1-2: Hobart, Port Arthur, and the Coast Start in Hobart. The Richmond Bridge is pretty, but it’s a 15-minute stop at best. Cascade Brewery is fine, but nothing to write home about. Port Arthur (the former penal colony) costs about 47 AUD for entry. It’s a bit pricey, but in my opinion, it’s worth it for the history. The coastal rock formations like Tessellated Pavement and Devil’s Kitchen are free and absolutely stunning. 📍 Days 3-4: Freycinet (Wineglass Bay) and Cradle Mountain Wineglass Bay: The hike to the lookout is steep, but the view of the white sand and turquoise water is worth the effort. Cradle Mountain was the highlight of the trip. At Ronny Creek, you’ll encounter wild, fluffy wombats—they are incredibly cute and wander right alongside the trail. 📍 Day 5: Grindelwald Swiss Village and Cataract Gorge Grindelwald was a total miss for me—artificial, kitschy, and commercialized. For a European with the Alps nearby, it’s a waste of time. However, Cataract Gorge in Launceston is a lovely spot for a final walk before flying out. Logistics and Winter Costs (August): 1. Weather: Cold and windy! We even had snow at Cradle Mountain. A good trekking jacket and layers are non-negotiable. 2. Visa: For Polish citizens, the eVisitor visa (subclass 651) is free. I applied online and got approval in just 15 minutes. 3. Car: You need one. Remember, they drive on the left, and you must be extremely careful after dark because of kangaroos and pademelons jumping onto the road. 4. Adapters: They use Type I plugs (same as in China), so you’ll need an adapter. Summary: The nature is incredible, but the journey from Europe is exhausting. Is Tasmania worth the trip on its own? Probably not. But as part of a 3-week tour of Australia? Absolutely. My rating: a solid 7.5/10.

If Richmond is Tasmania's "historical postcard," then Grindelwald, located in the northern suburbs of Launceston, might just be the island's most romantic "coincidence." In 1980, Dutch businessman Roelf Vos and his wife traveled to Switzerland and fell deeply in love with the stunning landscapes at the foot of the Alps. Upon returning to Tasmania, he made up his mind to recreate an identical Swiss village nestled in the hills of the Tamar Valley. As a result, an Alpine-style village emerged on the hills of the Southern Hemisphere—featuring peaked wooden cabins, wide eaves, flower-filled balcony boxes, and a picturesque seven-hectare lake. If you’re looking to experience a touch of the Alps in Tasmania, this place definitely won’t disappoint. 🚗 Getting There: Driving from Launceston is your best bet Grindelwald is situated about 15 kilometers north of Launceston. · Self-driving (Highly Recommended): From downtown Launceston, take the West Tamar Highway (A7) north for about 15 minutes. Navigate to Waldhorn Drive to arrive. Free parking is available within the village. · Bus: If you prefer public transport, hop on Route 788 from downtown Launceston. The ride takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Buses run roughly every 4 hours, so be sure to check the timetable before departure. · Taxi / Uber: A quick ride from downtown Launceston takes around 15 minutes. 🕰️ Opening Hours: Open seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Note that individual shops and restaurants have varying hours, so it’s recommended to check ahead for specific venues before going. 🎟️ Admission: Completely Free Entry to Grindelwald is totally free. It’s an open community where visitors can freely stroll around and snap pictures. 🏔️ Photo Spots & Highlights: Every path looks like the Alps Grindelwald spans 400 hectares. Though compact, its architecture and scenery are beautifully concentrated. Don't miss these picture-perfect spots: · Swiss-Style Architecture: All the homes here are crafted in the classic Swiss Alpine style—complete with peaked roofs, wide eaves, window boxes, and wooden shutters. Wandering down any lane feels like stepping straight into a Swiss mountain village. · Lake Grindelwald: The very first step in building the town was digging this spectacular seven-hectare artificial lake. Its mirror-like surface beautifully reflects the surrounding Alpine chalets. Take a leisurely stroll along the shore to spot swans and water birds. · Tamarhorn Lookout: This lookout offers sweeping, breathtaking views of the entire Tamar Valley. The climb is a bit steep, but the panoramic views make it totally worth the effort. · Lakeside Mini Golf: There's an adorable mini-golf course that’s absolutely perfect for some family fun. · Swiss-style Chalet: Keep an eye out for a classic Swiss chalet that boasts over 50 years of history, standing proudly as one of the village's iconic landmarks. ☕ Cafes & Dining: Sip coffee with an Alpine vibe Grindelwald offers a handful of cozy cafes and restaurants, perfect for a relaxing break: · Miss A Sippy Cafe: Located at 3/7 Waldhorn Dr, this popular spot serves up specialty coffee, tea, breakfast, lunch, and delectable pastries. Open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Grab a seat outside to sip your brew while taking in the Tasmanian scenery. · Tree of Life Bakery and Fusion Cafe: Found at Shop 8, 7 Waldhorn Dr, offering baked treats and fusion dishes. Operating hours vary, so give them a quick check before you go. · Chocolate Cafe: Often dubbed by travelers as "the best cafe in the resort," this spot boasts a wonderful atmosphere and top-notch service. · Alpenrose Bistro: Located right by the water, this bistro serves hearty meals and light bites. Dining here while admiring the Alpine architecture by the lake is an incredibly relaxing experience. 💡 Quick Tips 1. Close to Launceston: Just a 15-minute drive from the city center, it’s incredibly easy to pair a visit here with Cataract Gorge and Launceston City Park for a full day out. 2. Driving is ideal: It’s quick, easy, and the village offers free parking spaces. 3. Perfect for a short visit: A quick stroll and photo session take about 1 to 2 hours. If you want to slow down, grab a coffee, and play mini-golf, budget 3 to 5 hours (around half a day). 4. Respect the locals: Grindelwald is a real residential neighborhood. Please keep noise to a minimum and respect the residents' privacy while taking photos. 5. Eat beforehand: Dining options within the village are somewhat limited, so consider grabbing a bite in Launceston before heading out. 6. Check bus schedules: The 788 bus runs infrequently. Missing one could mean a long wait! 📌 Summary Grindelwald is undeniably Tasmania’s most romantic "coincidence." Inspired by his love for Swiss scenery, a Dutch businessman brought an Alpine village to life in the Southern Hemisphere—complete with peaked roofs, flower-filled balconies, a seven-hectare lake, and a church with chiming bells. While it's not massive, every path looks like a scene straight out of a postcard. If you want to catch an Alpine vibe in Tasmania, make sure Grindelwald is on your itinerary. "Grindelwald: Discover a replicated Swiss village built on love, right in the hills of Tasmania." 🩵⛰️🏡

Sawasdee ka everyone! 🙏 As a Bangkok girl who spends 90% of my life melting in the heat or staring at screens drawing illustrations, escaping to Tasmania in August was a literal dream. Honestly, I’ve been craving some cinematic winter vibes for ages, and Tassie did not disappoint! It felt like stepping straight into a movie set. We did an 8-day road trip. Since I don't drive (and honestly, who wants to navigate winding roads in the freezing cold when you can look out the window and sketch?), we booked a private charter car with a local driver. Best decision ever! We could just relax, and stop whenever I saw a view that looked like a film scene. Here’s how our cozy, slightly chaotic trip went: ✨ My Movie-Like Highlights: · Port Arthur: This historical site is so hauntingly beautiful. We did the ghost tour and, oh my gosh, it was so spooky but incredibly atmospheric! Felt like being in a gothic mystery film. · Bruny Island: Standing on those 200-meter cliffs with the freezing wind blowing in my face... honestly, I felt like a main character in a dramatic romance movie. The scale of nature there is just insane. · Cradle Mountain & Dove Lake: Walking around the lake in the winter chill felt like stepping into Narnia. My hands were freezing, but I couldn't stop snapping photos for my illustration reference folder. · Sheffield Mural Town: Okay, as an artist, I was in heaven! A whole town covered in murals? I spent so much time just wandering around looking at the details and chatting with locals. · Mount Wellington: We went up for the view of Hobart, and let me tell you, it was FREEZING! Coming from Thailand, I thought I brought enough layers, but up there, you really need to wrap yourself up like a burrito. 📝 A few 'rambly' tips from my experience: 1. Apply for that Aussie visa early! Don't leave it to the last minute, seriously, the stress is not worth it. 2. Pack a universal adapter! Australia has those three-flat-pin plugs. I almost forgot mine and panicked because my laptop and iPad are my life. 3. August is peak winter there. Coming from Thailand, the temperature shock is real. Pack heavy windbreakers, thermal wear, and beanies. 4. Don't skip the sunscreen. Even though it's cold, the Aussie sun is super strong. My face actually got a bit red on the coastal walks! It was such a healing trip. I came back to Bangkok with a camera roll full of memories and a brain full of new drawing ideas. Have any of you been to Tassie in the winter? Let's chat in the comments! 👇

Grindelwald Apartment Saint Louis 2.5 A chalet showcasing the essence of Switzerland 🏡

On the first day, I arrived in Grindelwald early in the morning, and my first destination was the First Cliff Walk. The 40-meter-long suspension bridge and the 360° observation deck offered breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The walking trail along the cliff provided a thrilling experience. In the afternoon, I explored the Grindelwald valley and felt the immense power of the glaciers. On the second day, I took a cable car up to First Mountain in the morning. At the summit, I was moved by the stunning scenery of the blue sky blending with the snow-covered peaks. Then, I embarked on a trek to Bachalpsee Lake. The first 10 minutes were steep and challenging, but upon reaching the lake, the effort was well worth it as I was greeted by an incredibly beautiful landscape. The area around the lake was adorned with blooming wildflowers, allowing me to truly appreciate the wonders of nature. Grindelwald is a place where nature and adventure coexist. With activities like cable cars, trekking, and cliff walks, two days felt too short to fully enjoy everything. I would definitely love to visit again if given the chance!

Decided to swap the rainy Manchester weekend for some proper Southern Hemisphere air. Tasmania is actually unreal. Mostly went for the hills, obviously. Cradle Mountain was the absolute highlight. Did the loop around Dove Lake. Didn't bring any fancy high-end gear, just my trusty beat-up boots and a waterproof I bought years ago. Still survived. It’s incredibly peaceful up there, giant mountains just staring back at you. We also drove up Mount Wellington just outside Hobart. Absolutely freezing at the summit. The wind almost took my cheap layers off. Apparently you can spot the Southern Lights from up there if you're patient, but I was already in a pub with a cider by then. No regrets. Wineglass Bay is also beautiful, very postcard-esque, though I always prefer looking down at the water from a proper peak rather than actually sitting on sand. Did a quick stop at Port Arthur too. Quite eerie walking around the old prison ruins, especially with the moody weather we had. Anyway, if you like hiking and don't mind a bit of wind, Tassie is class.
