Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll be presenting today's edition of #TravelDigest. In our featured posts, we have a mountain in Switzerland, a bridge in Czechia, and a mountain in Italy. Enjoy and have a great week ahead!
The mountain on the right is called Eiger. With its 3967 m above the sea level it is considered an extremely difficult mountain to climb. There have been many tragedies including climbing expeditions here and over 60 climbers have died attempting to conquer the north wall of Eiger. Therefore, it is also known as Mordwand or Murderous wall instead.

I never heard of this tradition as a kid, and I am hence pretty sure it was revived just a couple of years ago. Anyways, for one week of the year, a lamplighter walks over Charles Bridge in Prague and lights one lamp after another. Yes, this week. For those who have never visited my beautiful hometown, Prague: Charles Bridge construction was ordered by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and the first King of Bohemia, in 1357. Legend has it that the medieval builders used eggs to enhance the stability of the bridge; and egg proteins were actually discovered when samples from the oldest parts of the bridge were examined in laboratories. Nevertheless, the bridge was partially torn down by floods many times. And reconstructed again and again, so it could become one of the main tourist attractions of Prague.

During the walk I meet wild horses, it is a wonderful experience to see these large animals that I have usually seen in captivity on farms etc ... in total freedom, you can see that they are happy, how beautiful!!!!
