Today was a beautiful day for a hike! My friend and I decided to hike from Meltingen to Grellingen, the reverse of a
previous planned hike that got detoured somehow. We both decided that it was much easier to follow the trail this direction. We hopped on the S3 train from Basel SBB to Laufen, then the 111 bus to the Meltingerbrücke stop. I think the whole trip took about 45 minutes to an hour. Then we just followed the wanderweg yellow diamonds and signs to Grellingen.
It was sunny and got up to about 18°C (65°F). The trail was a bit wet and muddy in some places but all in all was no problem to hike along. The bärlauch is still growing strong, and we could smell it as we passed by. There were a lot more flowers out, and many more of the trees are springing forth with little green leaves. We even saw a couple of butterflies. I was able to get a pretty good photograph of one of them. It
landed in a patch of violets, which made a nice backdrop for the colors on its wings. This is definitely a hike to repeat.

Hello,
I love your photos of Dorneck as I grew up there in the 50's and 60's. My family still lives in Dornach.
I hope it is ok to download them for myself to look at.
I studied Chemistry at Basel University and worked at Roche, but am a winemaker in Australia now.
Best wishes,
Suzanne
