Gletch to Muenster

We took the post bus to Gletsch, where the road splits to the Grimsel pass on one side and the Furka pass on the other. It was out of season, and everything was closed. The English church seemed to be used as a store house for the neighbouring, closed, restaurant, and the museum and train depot. Once upon a time, the Rhône glacier came to here. We ambled down the valley, with the Rhône beneath us and the main road on the other side of the valley, passing a small chapel with a pilgrim stamp. As the river widened lower down, we arrived at Oberwald in the wide, flatter part of the Rhône valley. Interestingly, this was one of the places, where, on a trip over the Grimsel, the Jakobsweg had drawn attention to itself! The rest of the walk to Münster, where we were basing ourselves for the next week, was fairly flat and uneventful.
