What an exhausted group of climbers can do after a long multipitch to recover? They can spend a

Juha and Nina in the lost valley.

relaxing half a day at via ferrata and then go swimming to the nearby lakes.

I have to admint that one of my favorite via ferrata is Rio Salogoni in Drena. We visited there the very first time during our last years trip to Lake Garda, so it was a familiar route for most of us (read more about Rio Salogoni from here). As a route Rio Salogoni is not the most demanding or technically difficult but it has a certain spirit of a lost world that I haven't experienced in other places.

I was proud to show this place to our new members Juha, Niina and Nora. All of them had the opportunity to experience the lost world in a peacuful mood without other groups rushing in to it. And that shows on the images.

Rio Salogoni is definitely a worthy half day adventure to take and for our non climber quests Juha and Nina the day was definitely exciting and challenging even. After my second visit here Im even more convinced of the Rio Salogoni's magic. A defnite place to visit, recommended!

After the half day adventure there was only one thing to do, to swimming in the nearby lakes. Our choice for the day was Lago di Tenno that is well know from its turquoise and lagoon like environment (read more about Tenno). This year the water level was extraordinary high because of the rains and floods. Anyway the swimming was refreshing after the day at via ferrata and a good ending for our rock adventures.

Reflections on the Lago di Tenno. Notice the trees growning from the lake because of high water level.
