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 the 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 places.
26
27![The confusing sign](../img/23-1012-sign.jpg)

30
31We spend like 5 minutes figuring this out, and we choose to go left.
32
33The path is not steep and walking in the forest is enojyable. Since we
34are at a lower altitude than we have been for most of the other days,
35it is also much warmer than what we got used to.

41}}}}})
42
43The forest soon leaves space to grassy slopes and naked rock. The way
44up is still pleasant, and we have met almost no other hiker so far -
45in stark contrast with the previous day.

53}}}}})
54
55We arrive at *Forca Rossa* (2500m) at 13:05. Only in the last few minutes
56my knee gave me some problems, but it is not so bad that it makes me
57want to stop.
58
59Here at the top of this trail there are all the hikers that we did not
60meet on the way up; they probably came from the other side. There must
61be some kind of force field blocking tourists from entering the province
62of Belluno.

76## Walking down green pastures
77
78There is a great view on both sides of this pass, but the wind is cold
79and strong and we are not keen on staying long. After eating a couple
80of protein bars and taking many pictures, we start walking down towards
81Fuciade at 13:40.
82
83![The path to Fuciade](../img/23-1420-pastures.jpg)
84
85m4_caption(Walking down to Fuciade.)
86
87The way down is quite relaxing. We walk among green pastures, where
88cows and horses grazed freely. That is, until they are less romantically
89slaughtered to make [Bresaola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresaola).
90But until then they can enjoy the green grass.
91
92At 15:00 we reach Fuciade (1982m), a location where many families with
93kids were relaxing after a meal at [the hut](https://www.fuciade.it/en/).
94If one wants a more quiet place, a short walk up the trail that we were
95descending quickly leads away from the crowd. This place gave a sense
96of tranquillity.

103
104After a short short break, we move to
105[Rifugio Flora Alpina](https://floralpina.it) (1800m), that we reach
106quickly at around 16:00. The place is surrounded by the forest,
107and the only visible peaks are the
108[Mulaz](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulaz) and the
109[Focobón group](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppo_del_Focobon).

118
119Now, for the first time since we started our journey, we have some time
120to relax before dinner. We enjoy a sauna and a hot tub.
