フォルゲフォナ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ11

The hike here is somewhat underestimated. It's much more mountaineering than hiking. Therefore, dogs larger than a handbag should not be taken along. Furthermore, there's a constant risk of slipping on the trails due to the loose, sometimes coarse gravel and the smooth stones higher up the mountain. A change of clothes is advisable, but not absolutely necessary. Some of the climbs and descents are very steep, so snacks and plenty to drink are a must. If you make it to the top, congratulations! You'll be treated to a wonderful view of a glacier with a turquoise mountain lake—dreamlike. Have fun and a successful hike with good weather ☀️

We were there in August. I don't know if it applies to this or another suspension bridge, BUT: At least one suspension bridge can only be reached by walking over the stones in the riverbed of the waterfall. The current is really strong there. Right in the middle of the edge there is a birch branch sticking out into the path, which makes it even more difficult to move forward. We had a 5.5 kg dog with us. He was in our arms or in our backpack. I don't know how you would get larger dogs without huge self-confidence and a VERY good sense of their body across there. Think about it;)

Unfortunately, we had to stop our hike in May at that point. Immediately after the rope, there was no way through due to the snow and ice and no longer any view of the actual hiking trail. It's a shame so close to the lake, but that's the disadvantage if you want to do the tour in May.

At the beginning of May, the suspension bridge was still dismantled. For the brave, however, you can climb across the river using a rope. From here on, it gets more difficult.

The path to the glacier lake is initially a rough, steadily rising gravel path, then it goes steeply uphill in the forest over hill and dale. The komoot route is not entirely correct, but it is well signposted. Instead of 1:20 hours, we needed a total of 2:20 hours for the climb with short breaks.

Great glacier, the ascent (330 meters in altitude) is worth it
