16.07. Rauland

Today, we’ve been hiking. We made some place in the car for Aliona and Vlad which turned out to be quite comfy. At the side of the Rauland lake we stopped and walked up the hill. The path was very steep and wet but the view rewarded us. At the top we had a little lunch next to a waterfall just before it started to rain again. After that trekking we had a little nap and visited the local art gallery. The collection was very diverse but inspiring. It is definitely worth a visit. We didn’t expect such a cultural rich place in the middle of the mountains. There is also a small university where Aliona studied Art and Vlad has classes in jewelry. Their works proved a lot of skill and knowledge, but at the same time a new and creative approach. Later we went to another lake a little higher in the mountains, where we found some beautiful driftwood. The day ended with some traditional german food and beer. Thanks a lot Aliona and Vlad for your kindness and hospitality!
