I am fully convinced that Switzerland is not real. No place can be this stunningly beautiful without CGI. It's gotta be a conspiracy 😂

Probably my favorite country to visit. Only downside is everything is so expensive.

So very expensive. The French and Italian alps are also lovely.

It's not real, there's even a subreddit to post all of the evidence. r/SwitzerlandIsFake

I just spent ten minutes browsing that subreddit and I honestly can't tell whether they're being sarcastic or not.

It is supposed to be sarcastic, I think.

Google what the landscape in Thurgau looks like and you’ll soon find out how beautiful Switzerland really is

Haha not sure if trolling or a true admirer of our apple and cherry orchards.

Ja seechaw! I am a proud resident of Frauenfeld!

But yeah, TG can be quite boring to some. I love it, reminds me of home :)

TG is great, beautiful farmland and rolling hills, and far away from the crowded cities and the tourist places. I've spent a lot of time there visiting friends. But oh my, I don't know how you survive November to January with about 2 sunny days per month. I guess I am spoiled living in the Sunshine State...

I never knew about Frauenfeld, apples and cherries are normal but a wife orchard is really something unique

Some of these pictures may be real (stupidly beautiful) but I'm gonna call bullshit on the architecture. Gotta be CGI, too gorgeous 😂

Have you ever seen Yellowstone National Park? Magical.

It is. As an American, I can't call Yellowstone fake, but I can see your point 😂

Trivia: lots of the locations in lord of the rings have roots in Tolkien's visit to Switzerland.

I'd love to watch the movies shot in Switzerland, but New Zealand is a good second choice.

Appenzell is the literally greenest place I’ve ever seen, and I’m Swiss. I went there during summer, and the color of the grass was unreal.
