  2. Morning #HikeAndFly with views over the #Alps of #Jungfrau region. The city of #Interlaken is visible down below and a yellow #Hangglider is at the takeoff doing beautiful takeoff. Another scene is from the landing at the #Höhematte where 10+ #paragliders are up in the sky and one is just landing next to the camera.
