But first the pass. I always enjoy them, and I specially enjoy them, when you have somebody along the way who's doing the same uphill stretch at roughly the same speed. I have troubles going really slow, but I'm often taking a short break. So, I was meeting several times a guy in his seventies, who did the Klausenpass as well. Once I arrived, I passed a little house and he was waving at me. We had a little conversation, very enjoyable. Downhill was quite spectacular. Long stretches, amazing views and a lot of cows. Obviously. I took the shortcut with the train as well, as there was heavy rainfall announced. For the same reason I booked an AirBnB in Fanas for two nights. I'm not specifically keen on biking in the Alps with heavy rain and thunderstorms. Here again, just as I made my way up to Fanas, which was really quite steep, thunder started and I arrived just in time before the rain started. I ended staying a day longer in the super cute village of Fanas as the rain was super heavy and stretched out longer than expected.
Tag 141 - von Urigen nach Fanas
Den Klausenpass gemeistert! Die Nacht war ziemlich spektakulär, viel Gewitter und viel Blitz, als ich in Urigen ankam. Sehr froh, dass ich beschlossen habe, den Pass zu teilen, sonst wäre ich möglicherweise mitten im Nirgendwo unter diesen Wetterbedingungen gelandet. Ursprünglich hatte ich für diesen Tag eine längere Tour geplant, aber beschloss, sie mit Hilfe des Zuges etwas zu verkürzen.
Where did I stay?
Winterschlaf
