Rhone Valley above Leuk Some of large radar facility Satellitenbodenstation on the right is part of Onyx, Switzerland's secret system to eavesdrop on telecommunications. There are other facilities near that site that are not part of Onyx, and there are two other sites for Onyx facilities. I took the steeper route in order to stay in the sun... The road went through tiny farm towns Obere Lichten and Brunnen before meeting back up with the main road at Grächmatten |
