Isenfluh

 Der Blick auf die Jungfrau vom Isenfluh, CH / The view of the Jungfrau from Isenfluh, CH

High on the side of a mountain, through a corkscrew tunnel worthy of Disney's Matterhorn ride, and up a one lane road with infrequent pull outs sits the Alpine village of Isenfluh. Population: 70 or thereabouts. The town is serviced by a Swiss Post bus and there are a couple of chalet hotels. For those who live in this tiny little hamlet, this is the view they have to suffer day in and day out: the Eiger. Bummer, eh? To see a few more pictures, go here.

Bummer indeed. Both seeing the Eiger every day, and living in a village with only 70 people.
Don't throw me in that briar patch.
