The Belvédère

Today the kids arrived, 350 of them and we are between 50 and 60 personal. Now the serious work starts, but we also have set times to work and to be off.
This afternoon we walked to the Belvédère. From my room I can see it and I was told that this was supposed to become the residence of the Count Camille de Renesse, but it was not finished. It is situated on a hilltop and overlooks the Maloja pass and on the other side it looks out at the majestic hotel he started building in 1882. It was to become a health centre for the rich. It was opened in 1884, but he was also declared bancrupt in 1884. That’s one of the reasons why the castle never came to be. I have to find proper information about the Belvédère, because what I know is what I find on the internet and I'm not always sure about those facts.

Here are the mountains as seen from the Belvédère

I especially wanted to go that route, because there are more trees and I might see more birds. I was not disappointed and saw a few nutcrackers and they were not that far-off. I was also told that there is a pair of golden eagles in this valley and I might see them best from the Belvédère. Fingers crossed!
