Snowy Mountain and Blue Sky: Ponza Grande

Blue skies in the morning and a rocky, snow-covered mountain in winter - what could be more beautiful?

Blauer Himmel am Morgen und ein felsiger, schneebedeckter Berg im Winter - was gibt es Schöneres?

It can be even nicer when this mountain is illuminated by the morning sun and reflected in an emerald green lake.

Noch schöner kann es sein, wenn dieser Berg von der Morgensonne bestrahlt wird und sich in einem smaragdgrünen See spiegelt.

A few weeks ago I was in Slovenia in the Zelenci Nature Reserve and was able to photograph this beautiful snow-capped mountain early in the morning against a deep blue sky.

Vor ein paar Wochen war ich in Slowenien im Naturreservat Zelenci und konnte diesen schönen schneebedeckten Berg früh am Morgen vor einem tiefblauen Himmel fotografieren.

On the other side of the mountain is Italy and there are the Fusine Lakes (Laghi di Fusine / Weißenfelser Seen).

At the upper Fusine lake Lago di Fusine Superiore is the starting point for a via ferrata on this mountain.

The tour is said to be beautiful in terms of landscape, but long and exhausting, as it is a hike and climb of about 6 1/2 hours over 9 kilometers (5.59 miles) and 1,350 meters (4,429 feet) elevation.

Auf der anderen Seite des Berges ist Italien und dort befinden sich die Fusine Seen (Laghi di Fusine / Weißenfelser Seen).

Am oberen Fusine See Lago di Fusine Superiore ist Startpunkt zu einem Klettersteig auf diesen Berg.

Die Tour soll landschaftlich wunderschön, aber lang und anstrengend sein, soll sie doch über 9 Kilometer (5.59 miles) Distanz und 1.350 Höhenmeter (4,429 feet elevation) gehen und etwa 6 1/2 Stunden dauern.
