Here the peak of the Zorzit. Great all-round view of the adjacent valleys and mountains. But ascent is very, very exhausting and difficult. Almost no paths, everything off-road, from time to time markings.

Would not reccomend the section between .97 and 1.15 miles in. Very steep (climbing not walking) portions. If i did it again would walk arounf the road a bit. Overall great walk, quite technical at places, one to ddi if youre a confident walker

May 21, 2022,Wanderung zum Maja e Zorzit ( nicht nachmachen!!!)

This tour is not recommended for chasing. The paths to the area of the village of Theth are hardly or not at all available. It's 80% off-road. Only with compass or GPS device. Loose scree, old streams, forest areas - but everything with increases of 20% and more. No safe stop/step possible.
