First Cliff Walk в Гриндельвальде, Швейцария.

First Cliff Walk — это 300-метровая пешеходная панорамная тропа, проходящая по Швейцарским Альпам, которая местами прижимается к скалам горы, а местами выходит в бескрайние просторы. Узкая металлическая дорожка, словно приклеенная к скале и огибающая ее на высоте 2168 м над уровнем моря, позволяет всем жалающим прогуляться тысячи метров над долинами и пастбищами. Дойдя до конца, выходим на смотровую площадку, с которой можно рассмотреть невероятно крутые и острые склоны вершины Эйгер, альпийские пастбища, озера и водопады. Путешественник может начать с любого конца тропы и даже пройти её в обоих направлениях. На самом деле, очень интересно и приятно идти в обе стороны, потому что открываются разные виды. Сама прогулка занимает всего около 15 минут.

Железная дорога Jungfrau заинвестировала в мост 1,5 миллиона швейцарских франков, гарантируя путешественникам безопасное и увлекательное приключение. Кстати, говоря о безопасности, помните, что во время грозы вход на мост строго воспрещен. Если молния попадет в металл, все присутствующие поджарятся на месте.

Вход на First Cliff Walk бесплатный. За смотровой площадкой находится дорогой ресторан с панорамной террасой.

First Cliff Walk in Grindelwald, Switzerland.

The First Cliff Walk is a 300—meter panoramic hiking trail that runs through the Swiss Alps, which in some places clings to the rocks of the mountain, and in others goes out into the endless expanses. A narrow metal path, as if glued to a rock and skirting it at an altitude of 2,168 m above sea level, allows everyone to walk thousands of meters above valleys and pastures. When we reach the end, we go out onto the observation deck, from which you can view the incredibly steep and sharp slopes of the Eiger peak, alpine pastures, lakes and waterfalls. A traveler can start at either end of the trail and even walk it in both directions. In fact, it is very interesting and pleasant to walk in both directions, because there are different views. The walk itself takes only about 15 minutes.

The Jungfrau Railway has invested 1.5 million Swiss francs in the bridge, guaranteeing travelers a safe and exciting adventure. By the way, speaking of safety, remember that during a thunderstorm, entry to the bridge is strictly prohibited. If lightning strikes the metal, everyone present will be fried on the spot.

Admission to the First Cliff Walk is free. Behind the observation deck there is an expensive restaurant with a panoramic terrace.

Do you think there are homophobic elements in Grindeldore?

Ooooh yeah, i mean here are several homophobic elements in how Grindeldore is written (or more accurately: not written). From both a political and literary standpoint, it’s clear that the relationship is handled with cowardice and erasure.

First, there’s the issue of J.K. Rowling’s retroactive “reveal” that Dumbledore was gay, which was never explicitly shown in the original books and was later confirmed only in interviews. That’s already a red flag, it centers queerness as subtext, not text, as something acceptable only if you know how to “read between the lines.” It’s a very neoliberal move: using diversity claims for progressive clout while refusing to represent that diversity meaningfully in the actual narrative.

Then, when we finally get a story where Grindelwald and Dumbledore’s relationship could be explored — the Fantastic Beasts films — their romantic and emotional connection is again minimized to vague dialogue and zero intimacy. These are supposed to be two men who were passionately in love and driven apart by ideological conflict, and yet the story keeps them physically and emotionally distant. Their bond is never given the same narrative weight as a straight romance would be. That’s not accidental, that’s institutional homophobia, even when it’s wrapped in rainbow capitalism.

Worse still, Grindelwald becomes the archetype of the dangerous, manipulative queer man, the one who “led Dumbledore astray.” That plays into long-standing tropes about queerness being corrupting, irrational, or inherently tied to deviance and destruction. If we’re looking at this from a gender studies perspective, it’s a textbook example of queer-coded villainy and the sanitization of queerness in “good” characters like Dumbledore.

So yes, Grindeldore is not just queerbaiting, it’s structurally homophobic. It punishes queerness narratively, sidelines it politically, and reduces it to tragedy without ever letting it live fully or visibly.
