Visit to the Kleinalpe

25th October 1840

[1] On October 25, 1840, in rainy weather, J. L. – K. G. L. – S. – Andr. and Ans. H drove to Übelbach and went to the foot of the Kleinalpe around noon under snow-flurries and frosty westerly winds.

[2] At the point where the alp came into view, the sun appeared on the foggy firmament like a pale moon disk and gradually became more and more luminous. Here and there the sky became blue and it stopped snowing. The frost and winds also subsided.

[3] A joyful feeling took hold of the wanderers.
