September 5, 2009 - Holenstein to Eigergletscher Hike

The day started very cloudy with a low cloud ceiling of 100 feet from the Grindelwald valley floor. We decided to stay below the cloud line and started the hike at Holenstein and from there follow the "Fruit Trail" to a small town called Brandegg. From the point,we would decide if we would hike at a higher elevation if the weather improved and it did! After lunch, we went up to the Eigergletscher, the point where glaciers coming from the Eiger would come from and fall down to the valley. The path started at level ground with cows dotting the horizon but towards the end, the descent became steep and the path very narrow, only a foot wide without any markings. We figured this as a cow path more than a hiking path. Once Mark had to come down on his butt to get down safely. We arrived in Kleine Scheidegg bound for Grindelwald on the second to the last train of the day.
