Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Namche Bazar - Tengboche
The trek from Namche Bazar to Tengboche offered breathtaking views of the towering mountains that surrounded us.
In the evening, we watched a prayer ceremony of Buddhist monks at Tengboche Monastery, where we took a moment to appreciate its serene beauty and the spiritual atmosphere that enveloped the area.
Donauradweg: Ciocănești - Viziru
Ciocănești - Viziru
I might have overdone it with breakfast and lunch today—0.5kg of muesli, 0.5 liters of milk, and two bananas left me feeling quite bloated. After that, I could barely bend over due to my swollen stomach!
The landscape became increasingly picturesque after passing Călărași, with more horses appearing along the roadside, adding to the charm of the journey. In the evening, I got lucky when a rain front could not reach me. To top it off, I met some very hospitable Romanians who kindly invited me into their home. Although they only spoke Romanian, we managed to communicate using the iTranslate app.
Transalp 2013
Diese Etappe führt von Trafoi aus auf einer Passstraße mit unzähligen Spitzkehren hinauf auf das 1000 Meter höher gelegene Stilfser Joch.
Von dort geht es über den Umbrailpass weiter auf den Bocchetta di Forcola, dem mit 2768m, höchsten Punkt unserer Tour. Die Abfahrt vom Bocchetta di Pendolo mündet von einem wunderschönen, sich in das Tal schlängelnden, Trail in einen Schotterabhang mit recht grobem Schotter, bis man letztendlich in Bormiò ankommt.
Das Etappenziel Santa Caterina Valfurva erreichten wir am Spätnachmittag und somit hatten wir die am Vortag verloren gegangene Zeit wieder aufgeholt.
Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Cheplung - Namche Bazar
The trek to Namche Bazar featured numerous suspension bridges and a strenuous climb at the end. Upon reaching our destination, we took a well-deserved acclimatization day to adjust to the altitude and prepare for the journey ahead.
