Presentation: Karen Herold – Hiking the Haute Route, Switzerland

Join us on Thursday November 20th in Brunswick as Karen Herold shares her pictures and tales of her experiences hiking the Haute Route in Switzerland! Karen Herold, her husband, and her sister hiked the Haute Route from Chamonix, France, to Zermatt, Switzerland, in July, 2013. Among many reasons to do this beautiful hike was the chance to reconnect with the Swiss geography and relatives Karen’s family knew growing up with their Swiss father. The route traverses below the summits of ten out of the twelve of the highest peaks in the Alps, and crosses several high passes. Come and hear Karen’s story, and see beautiful photos, about this beautiful place on earth! This event will be held at the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, Maine. Optional potluck at 6:00 PM, followed by the presentation at 7:00 PM. To join in on the potluck fun, please bring a food item to share, along with your own plate and utensils. The talk is free and open to the public. FMI contact: Lisa Pengel.
