Or pull a saloon and even though it was going to ask a World Heritage site in 991 the city was attacked by serbian and montenegrin forces it off but the walls remained standing until today when all. The levels of normally they would be thousands of people up here at this time of year not bad because of the corona crisis there are no simply fewer tourists this year than last that we locals dont think its all that bad so now we have the place all to ourselves. Did i bet the best beer to broaden it is from our own Mountain Service up there you can walk up and go you can take the cable car i suggest we take the cable car today because its so hot so banff on balance there are highs.

No rest for the weary its time for the 2nd part of my track but i wont be making the ascent to the kings house on shot and all by myself stefan odd will accompany me hes a mountain guide from mitten bot. He says the mountains have a calming effect on him and that sometimes you just need to stop look and listen. Because then how did you come to be a mountain guide. It actually started with my parents we were always in the mountains. Then while doing my military service my path seemed preordained i became a mountain leader for the armed forces i just kept spending more time in the mountains even in my free time. And things just turned out this way. I mean you tell me as a city kid what a mountain guy does you know also. It has changed a bit in that in the past the people who came here usually had some experience theyd already done a fair amount of hiking boots nowadays many people are just looking to have an experience and tend to be ill prepared. So that poses the biggest challenge. Since so few people come with any previous experience you have to teach them everything with starting with how to walk. Thats the way it is. And this is totally so what should i look out for if i want to hike around here. The most important thing is to be in Good Condition and have a bit of energy in reserve so you can enjoy it. Its possible to rush around see a sight and then dash off that is the point isnt whether or not you reach your goal but what you get out of it were seeing this more and more most people go too hard theyre always pushing themselves to the limit and thats really a shame because then you dont take in whats all around you you need a Little Something in reserve for that possibly.

The stampede of visitors to outdoor destinations has noticeably increased in these days of the coronavirus pandemic if visitor counts in the algo alps are anything to go by as long as people stick to the model trails and leave nature in peace no way on hina is fine with it for the repeat all like to be in that surroundings. Like vatican is particularly popular. Its a delicate balancing act protecting nature while promoting crowds of people to have some fun and the sun. These days the ranges only go on
