Maj Summit (451 m)

Highlight • Summit

The summit of Maj is in the middle of a forest, so there is no view of Trieste from here.
A round concrete base about 6 m in diameter shows that a building once stood here.

Michael Schmitz
June 7, 2022, 2. Etappe: Rifugio Premuda - Villa Opicina. Via Alpina - Der Gelbe Weg

A crossing of the Alps in two months: the 800-kilometer Yellow Via Alpina. Here is the film about the hike: https://youtu.be/tVTeKg0li54 The Via Alpina leads through a wide variety of Alpine regions, which undoubtedly accounts for its special appeal. Through the Trieste Karst, the Julian and Carnic Prealps to the Dolomites, the path leads through less touristy Alpine regions. That makes it exciting and new, so there is often a lack of long-distance hiking infrastructure: In the morning it is not always certain where you can spend the night in the evening. Sometimes the tent helps, but mostly the local people help: Every day there is a new story to tell. In the Dolomites, the Schnalstal, the Ötztal Alps and in the Northern Limestone Alps there are sufficient huts, accommodation and supply options. There the daily cyclist is secured in the circle of numerous other hikers. This makes traveling more enjoyable, if less adventurous. All in all, it is an overwhelming crossing of the Alps, which is very rarely done in one go and which still has great potential. A book (with the many stories and lots of information about the tour) will follow shortly. Pre-orders here: https://viaalpina.soziales4u.de/shop All stages are documented with GPX data and can be downloaded. There are numerous photos for each tour. There is an overview there: https://www.komoot.de/tour/868201126 More information about the Yellow Via Alpina can be found here: https://viaalpina.soziales4u.de A short version of the film (50 min.) is available here: https://youtu.be/djMv9ztaAmA Tour 1: https://www.komoot.de/tour/797302695 2 https://www.komoot.de/tour/798247469 3 https://www.komoot.de/tour/799304535 4 https://www.komoot.de/tour/800319426 5 https://www.komoot.de/tour/801439689 6 https://www.komoot.de/tour/803007527 7 https://www.komoot.de/tour/804205153 8 https://www.komoot.de/tour/805880889 9 https://www.komoot.de/tour/807426984 10 https://www.komoot.de/tour/808537604 Tour 11: https://www.komoot.de/tour/809359890 12 https://www.komoot.de/tour/813729615 13 https://www.komoot.de/tour/813791851 14 https://www.komoot.de/tour/813798692 15 https://www.komoot.de/tour/814818079 16 https://www.komoot.de/tour/818048384 17 https://www.komoot.de/tour/818056158 18 https://www.komoot.de/tour/820133879 19 https://www.komoot.de/tour/820394795 20 https://www.komoot.de/tour/821748114 Tour 21: https://www.komoot.de/tour/822466674 22 https://www.komoot.de/tour/823849802 23 https://www.komoot.de/tour/825974521 24 https://www.komoot.de/tour/828550637 25 https://www.komoot.de/tour/828667652 26 https://www.komoot.de/tour/830082891 27 https://www.komoot.de/tour/832917491 28 https://www.komoot.de/tour/833362128 29 https://www.komoot.de/tour/834311432 30 https://www.komoot.de/tour/835584177 Tour 31: https://www.komoot.de/tour/836756409 32 https://www.komoot.de/tour/838224478 33 https://www.komoot.de/tour/840684250 34a https://www.komoot.de/tour/841605010 34b https://www.komoot.de/tour/842082821 35 https://www.komoot.de/tour/843144632 36 https://www.komoot.de/tour/844463751 37 https://www.komoot.de/tour/845633719 38 https://www.komoot.de/tour/850064182 39 https://www.komoot.de/tour/850070953 40 https://www.komoot.de/tour/850087887 Tour 41: https://www.komoot.de/tour/851388298 42 https://www.komoot.de/tour/852052055 43 https://www.komoot.de/tour/854461478 44 https://www.komoot.de/tour/856573766 45 https://www.komoot.de/tour/856576024
