Dear friends,

In a bookstore I recently found a book about walking trails in Europe. One
of the trails was 'in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes', and set in
Switzerland. The author is walking near the river Gemmi, and stops at the
Berghotel Schwarenbach. The village of Schwarenbach (near Kandersteg) has
a bad reputation, because of a book by Zacharias (!) Werner, entitled 'De
vierundzwanstigste Februar', which is about murders in Schwarenbach. The
owner of the Berghotel has a list of famous people who stayed there:
Alexandre Dumas, Coolidge, Jules Verne, Maupassant, Mark Twain, Arthur
Conan Doyle, Picasso, Lenin.

Why don't we know about this trip? It would be interesting to see if this
list is just a list of names put together by the owner (presumably), or if
it is a guestbook.

I'll try to find this Berghotel on the web, and write to them. I'll keep
you updated.

BTW, the author of the book I read this in, is Herbert Paulzen. The title
is 'Blaren, eelt en natte voeten' (Blisters, corn and wet feet).

Regards,
Garmt.
