Sud Tyrol Roll Day 5 (12)

Day 12: Hiking in Überbösen

Today is a non-riding day. We all piled into a cable car taht whisked us up to Überbosen (Bosen is the Germanic name for Bolzano, so translated, Überbosen means "over Bosen").  

Molly and Suzanne seemed to be getting used to cable cars.

The views from the car were amazing.

Maybe not completely relaxed

The trail system here is very well marked and maintained by volunteers.Blazes are on trail signs, trees, rocks, cairns, and even on the sides of barns.

Several years ago, someone brought a pair of llamas to the area, and now there seem to be more llamas than any other livestock up here.

On our descent, we had great views of the vineyards covering the hillsides.

After ther hike, we were pretty hungry.  Our guide, Frank, had recommended a place for pretzels and "great hot dogs".  Jeri and I stuck with the pretzel, Dave and Molly had a donner kebab
 

and Suzanne and Rich couldn't resist the dog!

We're keeping our fingers crossed that Jeri will be able to ride tomorrow.
