Hike to Ritten

 Got out for a hike today. We had no destination in mind so we chose one randomly - a hike to Klobenstein (Also known as the heart of Ritten - many of these places have multiple names). Turns out this was a favorite area of Sigmund Freud and the walk had benches with quotes from him. Wasn’t inspired by that but I understand why he liked the area.


Lots of choices about where to go. Well marked with even estimated hiking times.

Some of the spectacular scenery on this hike

A heart shaped rock on the trail

Obligatory selfie on the hike

Meadows and farms with the Dolomites in the background

Through meadows

Hmm. Which way. Actually trails are really well marked and it’s easy to pick and follow a hike.

Some amazing views of the Dolomites

The paths wound through the countryside but also skirted homes

Probably can’t see it in this photo but this said it was a restaurant. I’m skeptical

These “Snow in Summer” flowers were all over

Returning down the cable car…Fran was fine and even managed a smile!

Beautiful day and spectacular scenery in the Dolomites. And for the record a little over ten miles on the day.
