Creta di Timau and Cima Avostanis

Lately, we’ve been really into the Carnic Alps—they’re beautiful, kind of special, and a bit mysterious. So, in mid-August, we decided to hike up Creta di Timau. After about a two-hour drive, we got to the Pramosio mountain pasture and then headed off on foot to a mountain lake, where we took a little break.

Zadnje čase naju vleče v Karnijske Alpe, ker so tako lepe, nekoliko posebne in skrivnostne. Sredi avgusta sva se tako odpravila na Creto di Timau. Po približno dveh urah vožnje sva prispela do planine Pramosio, od tam pa nadaljevala peš do gorskega jezera, kjer sva si vzela nekaj časa za počitek.

We continued at a very relaxed pace, mostly because there were blueberries everywhere, practically begging us to pick them. Our first stop was the top of Cima Avostanis, where the view of the valley was amazing. It was a seriously hot day, and for a moment we weren’t sure if we should keep going or turn back. In the end, we chose to push on—and we definitely don’t regret it. 

Pot sva nadaljevala v zelo umirjenem tempu, saj je bilo povsod polno borovnic, ki so se kar same ponujale. Najprej sva osvojila vrh Cima Avostanis, od koder se odpre lep razgled na dolino. Dan je bil izjemno vroč, zato sva nekaj časa razmišljala, ali naj se vrneva ali nadaljujeva. Na koncu sva se odločila, da greva naprej in ni nama bilo žal.

After a short descent, we started climbing up to Creta di Timau. Along the way, we kept enjoying the views of the lake below us.The hike took about three hours, but with all the blueberry breaks, that’s just a rough guess. We were really glad we didn’t head back too early. The Carnic Alps totally won us over again.

Sledil je krajši spust in nato vzpon na Creto di Timau. Med potjo sva ves čas uživala v razgledih na jezero pod nama. Vzpon je trajal približno tri ure, a zaradi borovnic je ta čas res samo približen. Bila sva vesela, da se nisva prehitro vrnila v dolino. Karnijci so naju znova očarali.
