• Baita in the forest

    3 de maio de 2023, Itália ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    Actually today on the trail I decided to not do the detour through Sila NP. The weather is windy, cold, sometimes foggy and the trail is often a forest road . The area just looks like at home in the forest and you walk km for km alone through in the same surrounding. Well... Sometimes more sometimes less wind and rain. No shop, cafe, bar etc on the way. This I decided I will not do that loop through the NP and search for a more direct route. This saves me about 3 days and I get faster further north.
    So my alternative is through the forest too. Up to 1400m and then mostly down again.
    Just reaching there pad on the way down I pass in the forest a small hut (Baita) with 3 cars in front. I see the men inside at the window and wave to them. They immediately left the hut and asked me for a coffee. Very have been very interested and friendly. Have me some food and I can warm me at the fire. They offered me to sleep here. Would bet nice, but we need to go further today. So it is noon and we just make the lunch break here.
    Cool....
