There is a great deal of climbing in this stretch of hiking as you can see in this photo I took. I am way ahead here but observe the route the rest has to take just to reach where I am standing.
But when you get to the top, the view is the view is spectacular.
But soon, something caught our attention. You can smell it in the air and you can see it in the sky. It’s one of the worst natural disasters. A forest fire. Just look at the billow of dark smoke behind me.
The fire brigade at the scene. But there was little they could do. We later discovered that the fire covered a lot of area and extended into a small part of Czechia.
After having taken the above photo, I noticed something strange. My feet didn’t seem like they were a part of me. This photo explains it best. A lot is to be said in favour of barefoot hiking. All parts of the body should be exposed equally to the sun. Shielding the feet with socks and shoes only serves to make them look like they don’t belong to the rest of my body when the rest of the body has been baked in the sun.
