The grand finale of the 3-day hike across Hostýnsko-vsetínská hornatina (highlands)? Well, it depends 😅 The weather that day was not pleasant back in May 2020. It rained all night long. So I was kind of happy it did not rain next morning. However, it was drizzling and foggy back then. This made it kind of impossible to enjoy views which would be great (I bet!). Still there were nice moments to reminisce. Enjoy 😉

After I clamber up Soláň (~820m), due to foggy weather I do not see much, except for this little meadow full of moon daisy's ❤️
Something is behind though. Let's get closer.

It is a bell tower, Soláň.

A wooden gallery in nature, Soláň. Surprised, amazed!

No view. Doesn't matter as nature offers different spectacle!

I must admit it is not easy to photograph set like this. My camera has no clue what to focus on (even tried with "PRO"/manual focusing) 🤣 Any tips are highly appreciated.

Buttercup with raindrops and a buddy.

Few steps in the wet meadow, soaked shoes right away (no matter you are wearing a pair of Goretex shoes) 🤣

Enough moisture this year.

In high season, this meadow is full of beautiful orchids 😭 Next season then.

Back in civilization. Deer preserve, Miloňov (Velké Karlovice). There you can observe these animals (they are now tamed, not that wild) and buy them some feed they like.

Itinerary. Indeed, very short this time due to obvious reason (=bad weather).
