After the cycling on Friday and the great Mountainbike-Tour yesterday - there´s been a good hiking-tour on my schedule today! - Together with my friends Peter and Brigitte (knowing each other since years & now being a couple since February....) we started late morning to the "Mittagskogel" - one of the most wellknown mountains in our area - standing exactly on the border-line of Austria and Slovenia (2.146 m high / 7.040 feet).
The start of our tour has not been perfect at all: on our way up (we choosed the west-flank today) we didn´t find the right signposts - and we got lost in the middle of the steep forest... - when we decided to walk further up on one of the newer forest-roads we reached a small plateau (still not knowing where exactly we´ve been) - and surprisingly we found a lot of fresh mushrooms (approx. 2 kg of chanterelles). After a sunny rest at a cabin-terasse we decided to try another track (last chance for mountain-guide "Ombre"....) - and thanks-to-god after 20 more minutes we reached the right track (finally! - after two hours being lost.....).
From now on we´ve found new motivations - and while walking up we had fantastic views - really breath-taking! - After a total walking time of 4 hours we reached the peak - and as a kind of reparation of my poor orientation in the morning I had to act now: as a surprise I took two chilled bottles of wheat-beer out of my backpack - and everbody has forgotten about wrong tracks, lost moments and giving-up-thaughts....
The track down on the east-flank has been very steep and power-robbing - but we reached the "Bertahuette" (cabin) after another hour - at 1.567 m (5.140 feet) - for a final rest in the late-afternoon-sun. - Very happy, very satiesfied and full of wonderful impressions!
30 more minutes walking and we reached the car-parking - rushing home to prepare a nice dinner with our fresh mushrooms....
Another perfect day in my happy life - thanks a lot for it!
