17## To Malga Ciapèla and Forca Rossa
18
19Our fourth day starts at 8:20, with a steep descent on a ski path.
20My knee stil hurts, and this points I am afraid I may have to
21deal with it for the rest of trip.
22
23At 9:30 we pass Malga Ciapela (1450 meters on sea level) and we start
24walking up again. Soon we find an enigmatic sign which is apparently
25trying to communicate that going left or right leads to the same
26places. We spend like 5 minutes figuring this out, and we choose to
27go left.
28
29The path is not steep and walking in the forest is enojyable. Since we
30are at a lower altitude than we have been for most of the other days,
31it is also much warmer than, say, yesterday morning.

38
39The forest soon leaves space to grassy slopes and naked rock. The way
40up is still pleasant, and we have met almost no other hiker so far -
41in stark contrast with the previous day.

49}}}}})
50
51We arrive at *Forca Rossa* (2500m) at 13:05. Only in the last few minutes
52my knee gave me some problems, but it is not so bad that it makes me
53want to stop.
54
55Here at the top of this trail there are all the hikers that we did not
56meet on the way up; they probably came from the other side. There must
57be some kind of force field blocking tourists from entering the province
58of Belluno.

72## Walking down green pastures
73
74There is a great view on both sides of this pass, but the wind is cold
75and strong and we are not keen on staying long. After eating a couple
76of protein bars and taking many pictures, we start walking down towards
77Fuciade at 13:40.
78
79![The path to Fuciade](../img/23-1420-pastures.jpg)

81m4_caption(Walking down to Fuciade.)
82
83The way down is quite relaxing. We walk among green pastures, where
84cows and horses grazed freely. That is, until they are less romantically
85slaughtered to make [Bresaola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresaola).
86But until then they can enjoy the green grass.
87
88At 15:00 we reach Fuciade (1982m), a location where many families with
89kids were relaxing after a meal at [the hut](https://www.fuciade.it/en/).
90If one wants a more quiet place, a short walk up the trail that we were
91descending quickly leads away from the crowd. This place gave a sense
92of tranquillity.

99
100After a short short break, we move to
101[Rifugio Flora Alpina](https://floralpina.it) (1800m), that we reach
102shortly at around 16:00. The place is surrounded by the forest,
103and the only peaks that are not hidden by trees are the
104[Mulaz](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulaz) and the
105[Focobón group](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppo_del_Focobon).

114
115Now, for the first time since we started our journey, we some time
116to relax before dinner. We enjoy a sauna and a hot tub.
