Weather forecast was supposed to be good but when we left in the moring and drove direction Goldau it rained and all hills were covered in clouds. We parked at Goldau A4 car park and took the cog railway up to Rigi Kulm. Day ticket costs 33 CHF (1/2 price and it will increase to 34 CHF as of 1 June 2014). On top we headed to the top and it was very foggy. After 5 QSO and without any really good propagations and the girls were already cold we packed up and went to the restaurant. At midday clouds were still around and offered no views at all … Therefore we headed home for the garden 🙂
