• Some hiking in the Carinthian mountains today …
  

• Three Days on the Romea Strata – a walking experiment in self-awareness
  
  Day 1
  Started with respect – for the path, the weather, and my own ambition.
  20 km later, I was saltier, smarter, and surprised by how forgiving feet can be.
  (At least on day one.)
  
  Day 2
  I went for glory: 27 km.
  The body objected, the heel protested, the legs kept quiet.
  Turns out: endurance is a virtue.
  But knowing when to pause – that’s wisdom.
  
  Day 3
  No plan, no app. Just a saddle and a dog who nearly took his owner down to greet me.
  8 km, 200 vertical meters, and one clear thought:
  If there’s no reason to stay, leaving is not weakness.
  It’s clarity.
  
  ?
  
  Conclusion
  I didn’t push past my limits –
  I learned where they are.
  I didn’t finish the whole way –
  I chose when enough was enough.
  Pilgrimage isn’t about distance.
  It’s about knowing when to keep walking – and when to stop.
  

• I walked 20 km yesterday and 26 km today
  on the Romea Strata through beautiful Friuli.
  It was tough, but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. 💪
