It's fun to look at individual houses and barns perched precariously on the hillside, with great round stones underneath to prevent vermin from climbing into the stored hay...
...or to look up at the whole village thrusting out from the hillside, with retaining walls to create a level space for a family play yard or outdoor dining (who would want to eat elsewhere)?
However you look at it, the hills are steep and flower-filled.
And in the woods, we even found one late-blooming Alpenrose (which is not a rose at all, but in fact a native rhododendron).
