Paul's father Paul J. Hilber did his best to ensure that everything arranged by his son will really work during our visit to Switzerland. He met our bus in Wildhaus together with Peter Diener (our main host from the local section of the Swiss Alpine Club) and spent many hours with us at Zwinglipass-Hütte, acting as a generous host.
 
    Mrs. Marie-Louise Kressibucher was our main host in the hut. On the photo she is with Tanel, the youngest member of the Estonian expedition. Together with her husband she generously supported the joint evening folk-song parties during our stay at Zwinglipass-Hütte.
 
    Our activities in the surrounding mountains were thoroughly prepared by Peter Diener - we got all necessary materials including maps and particular descriptions of the most popular routes.

    The photo of mountains in the region of Toggenburg was made by Peter during the following winter.

Mr. Max Seiler, the President of SAC Toggenburg, also visited us at Zwinglipass-Hütte. A SAC T-shirt he presented to every member of the expedition remains one of the best memoirs of our trip.

Members of the expedition appreciate very much the hospitality we experienced during our stay at Zwinglipass-Hütte.
