One week later: leaving home at about 4 a.m.; southbound to pick my mum up at the sea. Instead of late September like in 2018 and 2019 it was early June this year. This means the sunrise is earlier in the morning so it was time to take some different photos.


My favourite way to get to Italy. Plus it’s the shortest and cheapest for me.

B-Roads, Felbertauern tunnel and Plöckenpaß (Passo di Monte Croce Carnici)


Kienburg castle ruin




Hochstadel, Große Sandspitze, Laserzwand (near Lienz, East Tirol)


Aguntum, roman settlement east of Lienz




Cellon (Creta della Collinetta, 2238 m), west of Plöckenpaß


Monument for the Austrian-Hungary (K.u.K. = Kaiserlich und Königlich; imperial and royal) ropeway. This was used to support the soldiers on the Kleiner Pal (Pal Piccolo) during the First World War in 1915-1917.

1 = One cylinder hot bulb diesel engine
2 = Transmission belt
3 = Bevel gear
4 = Clutch
5 = Cable wheel


Engine




Sunrise, Gailtaler Polinik (2332 m)


Angertal valley station of the ropeway


Kleiner Pal (Pal Piccolo, 1867 m) with the top station of the ropeway


War memorial and chapel on the Plöckenpaß (Austrian side)


Mooskofel (2359 m)




Soldier’s shack, model 1917






Plöckenhaus restaurant (Austrian side, not far away from the top of the pass). There’s not much traffic on the Plöckenpass nowadays. The restaurant was still open when I was here the last time in 2019, CoVid travel restrictions might have been the final blow.
