<p>This is Omaha Beach near Normandy, France.  The sculpture is in honor of the estimated 8,000 Allied soldiers who lost their lives on D-Day – the largest amphibious assault in history.  It was very odd for me to see locals and tourists and families having great fun swimming on the beaches where so many died.  But on second thought, it was 80 years ago, and life should go on.  It didn’t take long for it to stop seeming odd, and actually be nice watching all the current joy of life in a place of historic sorrow.  But I am glad they have built memorials and left war remnants on such an historic area that was the last place too many young people saw.</p>

<p>Schweiz / Wallis - Höhenweg Almagelleralp<br />
<br />
This trail leads you from the idyllic Kreuzbogen lake and the colourful Alpine flower trail via the romantic Almageller valley to Almagelleralp, and along the adventure trail to Furggstalden; the Almagelleralp mountain trail is unrivalled in the scenic variety it offers.<br />
<br />
Description<br />
<br />
From Kreuzboden (2400m), with its idyllic mountain lake, you hike along the first part of the Alpine flower trail to the Triftgrätji viewing point. Edelweiss and gentian are just two of the roughly 240 species of flowers you can marvel at along the Alpine flower trail.<br />
<br />
The mountain path above Grundberg leads you into the wild and romantic Almagellertal to Almagelleralp (2194m). After a break at the mountain hotel Almagelleralp you continue your hike either along the stream to Saas-Almagell, or via the adventure trail to Furggstalden.<br />
<br />
The Almagellerhorn adventure trail is only suitable for for adventurous families, young people and the young at heart. This section of the tour, with its numerous ladders and stairs, is technically difficult. Surefootedness and head for heights are necessary. The absolute highlight of the adventure trail is a 60 m long hanging bridge. From Furggstalden, you can comfortably descend to Saas-Almagell by chairlift. There is a bus every hour from Saas-Almagell to Saas-Grund.<br />

Vom idyllischen Kreuzbodensee und der farbigen Alpenblumenpromenade übers romantische Almagellertal zur Almagelleralp über den Erlebnisweg bis hin zu Furggstalden; der Höhenweg Almagelleralp ist an Vielfalt kaum zu übertreffen.<br />
<br />
Beschreibung<br />
<br />
Vom Kreuzboden (2400m) mit seinem idyllischen Bergsee wandern Sie auf dem ersten Abschnitt der Alpenblumenpromenade zum Aussichtspunkt Triftgrätji. Edelweiss und Enzian, dies sind nur zwei der rund 240 Blumenarten, die Sie auf der Alpenblumen-Promenade bestaunen können.<br />
<br />
Die Höhenwanderung oberhalb des Grundbergs führt ins wildromantische Almagellertal zur Almagelleralp (2194m). Nach einer Rast im Berghotel Almagelleralp geht es entweder dem Bach entlang zu Fuss nach Saas-Almagell oder über den Erlebnisweg nach Furggstalden.<br />
<br />
Der Erlebnisweg Almagellerhorn eignet sich nur für abenteuerlustige Familien, Jugendliche und Junggebliebene. Dieser Abschnitt der Tour ist mit seinen zahlreichen Leitern und Treppen technisch schwierig und nur für Schwindelfreie zu empfehlen. Das absolute Highlight des Erlebniswegs ist eine 60m lange Hängebrücke. Von Furggstalden aus gelangen Sie bequem mit dem Sessellift nach Saas-Almagell. Von Saas-Almagell verkehrt stündlich ein Bus nach Saas-Grund.<br />
