I am going to Karlsruhe, Germany for work I have 1 day to spare and I want to go see switzerland country side.

Question

I like to hike little bit and see mountians. Is there any place in north switzerland I can go? Karlsruhe is north of switzerland about 2.5 hour train ride. I need to come back to Karlsruhe same day.

Answer 1

Sorry but too short to enjoy the Swiss Mountains in a day. Even though Switzerland is quite small but you only make it to border towns like Schaffhausen (near the lovely Rhine-Fall)s maybe Basel or Zürich but not up the great mountains!

Answer 2

one day????  very short.

Go to Basel or like Madonna_Toller answers above.

Ain't going to see the Alps.
