[Idyllchat] Switzerland - Hasliberg(Reuti) / Locarno

I agree about not seeing Ballenberg on a rainy day. There is too much  
outdoor walking from one building to another and much more from one region  to 
another. While Ballenberg can be done in one day it is a push. We did  one half on 
our first trip to the Heartland and the other half on the second and  found 
that by doing it in two separate trips we were able to spend more time and  
enjoy it more. Each time we went in through a different entrance so  that we 
didn't have to repeat too much what we had seen before. If you don't  plan on going 
back to the Heartland on another Untour then you may want to split  the 
viewing into two half days. Whatever, it is certainly educational and well  worth 
visiting. If you  Google "Ballenberg" you should be able to get  some advanced 
insight to this area. Also, the Aareschlut walk is well  recommended. If you 
are staying in Meiringen I would suggest that you enter  from the upper ticket 
office and walk down to the lower. From there it is a  nice hour's walk back 
to Meiringen through the meadows and residential  areas.
