Zbogom Slovenia

So today it's time to leave Slovenia. I like the country and the people! The country is half the size of Switzerland, stretching from the Adriatic Sea up to the Julian Alps, so there are also diverse landscapes like Switzerland. It has around 2 million inhabitants, i.e. around a quarter the size of Switzerland. People are talkative and are open and helpful, that's how I perceived them. My way now leads me back to Podkoren up to the Wurzenpass where there is also a border crossing to Austria. The hiking trail now leads along the Slovenian/Austrian border through the forest up to the border triangle. I stand on the point where Italy, Slovenia and Austria meet. Is also shown with a small structure visible. After a long break and time to enjoy the view, I finally left Slovenia. The Via Alpina now leads along the Austrian/Italian state border through partly poorly marked dark forest down to Thörl-Maglern. There I found a guest room with two older people, she 88 and he 92 years old! You were very kind!

23 August 23 Thörl-Maglern > Feistritzer Alm

7:00 a.m. Breakfast and early departure. First I had to buy provisions at the gas station, because there is a long stage ahead with very high temperatures! The first ascent was very steep and the sun shone directly on it, but fortunately through the forest. The path stretched endlessly like a slalom around the boundary stones. Once on the Italian side, then again on the Austrian side. The path well marked! So the way up and down then flat again but it seemed endless!! Lunch on an uninhabited alpine pasture and still sweltering hot! You could guess the thunderstorm that poured over me later! Past old military forts on a forest path that is being expanded by a very lonely machinist with his machine. After chatting a few words with him in Italian, I continued on my way. On the second to last ascent I had to put on the rain gear. Luckily it was only raining and the storm wasn't directly overhead. It went like this for a good hour down a very dark, impassable forest until the last ascent was due. Luckily the GPS worked too!!! The last two-hour ascent was then easier, along a wide alpine road up to the Feistritzer Alm. Once at the top, the weather opened up and we were able to enjoy a beautiful evening atmosphere. The restaurant was already closed and there was no host on site. Then Almhalter came out of a large stable and asked what I wanted! You can sleep, but there's nothing to eat, he said. he showed me a Brünneli, toilet and a bed, all clean and tidy. He then invited me to a beer in his stable, where we told our stories and it was very comfortable. He is responsible for 200 suckler cows, 50 goats and 50 horses! Great work! His name is Hans and he is 69 years old, so he was born. A long day but satisfied came to an end.
