Kanin cableway and ski resort - Slovenia - photos
Page no. 1, photos: 1-8, 48 photos in total. >>>
The Kanin cableway is about 6 km long. Constructed in 1974, it serves the ski slopes under Prestreljenik. It has four stations, lower station - Dvor (436 m), B station - Cela (979 m), C station (1640 m), and D station at the Prestreljeniski podi (2202 m).
In autumn 2005, a new chairlift was put into operation from the Prestreljeniski podi, across the Prestreljenik mountain pass, to Prevala (2067 m). Thus, new Kanin ski slopes were opened, allowing for a connection with the Italian cableway system above Sella Nevea.
The Kanin Mountains are located in the Western Julian Alps, on the border of Slovenia and Italy. The highest peak in this range, known as (High) Kanin or Monte Canin Alto, in Slovenian and Italian respectively, reaches a height of 2,587 m above sea level. These mountains separate the upper Soca Valley in Slovenia from the Resia Valley in Italy.
On the Slovenian side of the mountain range, within the municipality of Bovec, there is this ski resort, considered to be the highest in the country. Among the various caves in the area, Vrtoglavica Pit has the deepest single vertical drop (pitch) in any cave worldwide, reaching a depth of 603 m.

Hias Klettersteig - Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 121.18 km away
The Hias Klettersteig in the Silberkarklamm gorge is the first of the three via ferrata routes, and perhaps the easiest to complete. Two cable bridges and a few trickier sections make it interesting, but it is truly impressive due to the view of the narrow gorge.

The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better. :-)

Echernwand Klettersteig Hallstatt, Austria 133.52 km away
I climbed the via ferrata on the Echernwand rock wall at dusk. This route is located above one of Austria's most beautiful lakes, and above Hallstatt. The iron climbing route was quite challenging at times, with the most exciting section being the Roll-dachl, an exposed rock formation, shaped like a nose.

Hili cove iron path Turda Gorges 781.59 km away
While the first time I climbed this via ferrata in the morning, now I climbed it in the light of the setting sun. The red-dressed rocks created a special atmosphere, and I could admire the sunset from the top of the climbing route. Although I prefer the sunrise more, because it lasts longer. :-)

Preacher's Rock Bodoc Mountains 956.07 km away
In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.
