Urgently needed due to high unemployment and since November 2020 also warlike violence.     The panorama over the mountains and the lake is impressive and incomparable! Fortaleza, the name of a Brazilian city, means castle, fortress. Like the city of Fortaleza, our apartment stands above Lake Walen (Walensee) and sometimes above the sea of fog.
