+## To Malga Ciapèla and Forca Rossa + +Our fourth day starts at 8:20, with a steep descent on a ski path. +My knee stil hurts, and this points I am afraid I may have to +deal with it for the rest of trip. + +At 9:30 we pass Malga Ciapela (1450 meters on sea level) and we start +walking up again. Soon we find an enigmatic sign which is apparently +trying to communicate that going left or right leads to the same +places. We spend like 5 minutes figuring this out, and we choose to +go left. + +The path is not steep and walking in the forest is enojyable. Since we +are at a lower altitude than we have been for most of the other days, +it is also much warmer than, say, yesterday morning. + +![A view from the trail in the forest](../img/23-1115-view.jpg) +

+*A view from the forest, on the way up from Malga Ciapèla to Forca Rossa.* +

+ +The forest soon leaves space to grassy slopes and naked rock. The way +up is still pleasant, and we have met almost no other hiker so far - +in stark contrast with the previous day. + +![Grassy slops up to Forca Rossa](../img/23-1220-forca-rossa.jpg) +

+*The lower clay-red peak on the center-left of the picture is Forca Rossa, +where we are headed. "Rossa" in Italian means "red" - it's nice when things +are what their name says they are, isn't it?* +

+ +We arrive at *Forca Rossa* (2500m) at 13:05. Only in the last few minutes +my knee gave me some problems, but it is not so bad that it makes me +want to stop. + +Here at the top of this trail there are all the hikers that we did not +meet on the way up; they probably came from the other side. There must +be some kind of force field blocking tourists from entering the province +of Belluno. + +![View from Forca Rossa to the Belluno side](../img/23-1325-forca-rossa-bl.jpg) +

+*My dad and I chilling - quite literally, because of the wind.* +

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

*Walking down to Fuciade.*

+ +The way down is quite relaxing. We walk among green pastures, where +cows and horses grazed freely. That is, until they are less romantically +slaughtered to make [Bresaola](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresaola). +But until then they can enjoy the green grass. + +At 15:00 we reach Fuciade (1982m), a location where many families with +kids were relaxing after a meal at [the hut](https://www.fuciade.it/en/). +If one wants a more quiet place, a short walk up the trail that we were +descending quickly leads away from the crowd. This place gave a sense +of tranquillity. + +![Me relaxing in Fuciade](../img/23-1512-fuciade.jpg) +

+*Me relaxing in Fuciade while I enjoy a glass of +[Radler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shandy#Radler) - don't be fooled +by the Coca-Cola can.* +

+ +After a short short break, we move to +[Rifugio Flora Alpina](https://floralpina.it) (1800m), that we reach +shortly at around 16:00. The place is surrounded by the forest, +and the only peaks that are not hidden by trees are the +[Mulaz](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulaz) and the +[Focobón group](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruppo_del_Focobon). + +![The Mulaz and the Focobon group](../img/23-1818-focobon.jpg) +

+*A spectacular view of the Mulaz and the Focobón group. As the light +changed and the clouds moved, the colors changed as well. I spent quite +some time just sitting outside the hut, admiring these peaks.* +

+ +Now, for the first time since we started our journey, we some time +to relax before dinner. We enjoy a sauna and a hot tub. + |[← Day 3](../day3)|[Alta Via 2](../)|[Day 5 →](../day5)| |:-|:-:|-:| diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-0000-map.png b/src/av2/img/23-0000-map.png index 566b8e8..414d56c 100644 Binary files a/src/av2/img/23-0000-map.png and b/src/av2/img/23-0000-map.png differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1115-view.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1115-view.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0cc5a7 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1115-view.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1220-forca-rossa.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1220-forca-rossa.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2f6d471 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1220-forca-rossa.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1325-forca-rossa-bl.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1325-forca-rossa-bl.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4546c68 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1325-forca-rossa-bl.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1333-chilling.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1333-chilling.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ea5c999 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1333-chilling.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1338-forca-rossa-tn.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1338-forca-rossa-tn.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ab32c6 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1338-forca-rossa-tn.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1420-pastures.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1420-pastures.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a1bc6fc Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1420-pastures.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1512-fuciade.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1512-fuciade.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..536d5df Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1512-fuciade.jpg differ diff --git a/src/av2/img/23-1818-focobon.jpg b/src/av2/img/23-1818-focobon.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a4a55e6 Binary files /dev/null and b/src/av2/img/23-1818-focobon.jpg differ -- cgit v1.3
