    🇦🇹 Sillianer Hütte to Porze Hütte. 🇦🇹

    We are so back. Beautiful mountains, beautiful weather, beautiful food. The Carnic High Trail is quite something, with the frosted tip of Großglockner out to the north, and the dramatic shard-like crags of the Dolomites to the south. I did two stages of the Via Alpina today. So much ascent and descent today too, dear lord. You wouldn't believe how vertical some of the climbs are. Just sucks that my trekking pole broke a little while back. The history is just as overdramatic as the scenery up here too, littered with remnants of World War One battles between the Italians and Austro-Hungarians. Like, chill guys, just fight down there; what are you doing launching hand grenades 2,500m up in the sky? Highest point today was at 2,647m, while the mountain hut sits at 1,935m, where I infiltrated a table of German hikers and enjoyed some hearty sauerkraut and beer (thanks so much to Rob & Kat for buying a meal for me by the way, am so grateful!)Read more
