Vellauer Felsenweg 22

13.09.2008

We took the bus to Vellau and then picked up the gondola and continued with the lift (Korblift) to the top of the Meeraner Höhenweg. A short hike gets you to the "Leiter Alm" - a nice place for a rest but since we just started, we turned to the right and followed this fantastic way. 

You can also turn to the left - you are still on tour 24 - the famous "Meeraner Höhenweg".

safety in the forrest

We followed the way until the Vellauer Felsenweg splits to the right. (Hochmuth Alm)

This way can be dangerous, especially in winter. (some people lost their lives here) 

So be cautious - we found it just great and not threatening at all. The weather however became bad now and it obviously looked like a lot of rain to come in the near future. We just finished the dangerous part of the way and entered the forrest as a strong thunderstorm hit us. Actually, we had been lucky - you do not want to have such a storm while you still are on the small and steep way down - very much exposed to the wind and rain!
