June 8 - Stopped by the cheese-making demo prior to climbing the steep path leading to Gruyere Castle.
(A perfectly preserved old castle-village, isolated on its crag but within easy reach of Lake Geneva, GRUYERE is one of Switzerland's most photogenic sights and attracts hordes of daytrippers throughout the summer season, come to stroll on the village's only street and explore the impressive chateau. By 10am in season, the village can get uncomfortably crowded, and can stay so until late afternoon. Cars are banned, but you'll find several large parking areas on the hillside just below...To approach it, you must walk the length of Gruyere's dipping, picturesque main street with its central fountain and quaint old houses on either side bedecked with hanging signs. A huge gate at the end affords entry to the castle grounds.- from switzerland.isyours.com.)
