"""Spirit of Place""
Elisabeth Gewinner's favourite spot
I don't know if there's a spirit in every place but I've often felt a presence. Especially in the mountain. My husband Bernard and I were passionate about it. Obsessed even. Whether it be the Alps or Vosges ridges. Walkers on untarmacked paths, always enthralled, tackling unspoilt scenery touching the purest skies.
Grandiose or simply moving, the spirit of place whispers something to us that appeals to all our senses. Especially in the morning and evening when everything is calmer. Birdsong, bubbling streams, lights and colours that change with the time and season... There's nothing like simple things to clear out the cobwebs and lighten your heart.
The miracle is that the spirit is only talking to you. It gives everyone something specific that you can share as you walk with your friends or family.
And then there are spirits that never leave us. View map
