Schlegeis

Schlegeis reservoir, or artificial lake, lies in south west Austria. The mountains in the skyline are actually in Italy. On that day we hiked past this lake to the Italian border, some 15 kilometers. Reaching Italy, we quenched our thirst on some Italian beer and walked back.

    I don’t know how I missed this stunning photo. Beautiful colours and remarkable clouds. I can only imagine hiking there. Bears? Moose?

  • Xandru replied

    LOL … No exciting wildlife in this part of the world. Nowhere near to what you have in Alaska. For some five months of the year its perfect, and fairly safe, for mountain hiking. And the scenery is simply breathtaking. Thanks a lot Jan.
