Make way for the dead!

High in the Swiss Alps in the region Bernese Oberland, many men, women and children have experienced the great horror of dead Frisians marching back to their homeland under the dark of night. The path the walkers follow is called The Frisians Way. Connecting the Haslital ‘Hasli valley’ in the Bernese Oberland with the shores of the North Sea of former Frisia. The dead do not speak “friend” and enter, when they want to pass through your house or barn. No, you better not stand in their way. Not an inch, and immediately open yours doors!”

Read the rest on the excellent Frisia Coast Trail – an unlikely source of Swiss mountain folklore!
