The true love is the one, that you remember forever in your life, regardless how few time is given to you to enjoy it.
Five days we have spent in the most essential mountains I have ever seen. Mix of climbing and tracking, sleeping in the dormitories of refuges, crossing glaciers and ancient warpaths under and over the peeks.
In 2011 we decided to walk visit the Dolomites in South Tirol and cross the mountains through one of the high altitude long distance trekking roads, called Alta Via. Somehow, I became the designated person for choosing the specific trail for a shorter, but memorable holiday in trekking.
My choice was the fourth Alta Via which is one of the shorter, but also said to be the most demanding trek in these mountains. I was not able to resist the possibility to visit the beautiful legendary peeks shared by two nations, the place where the first Hungarian mountaineers carved their names in the eternity and which were shed by the blood of sons many nations, including Hungarian soldiers as well.
Although, the trekking route was demanding itself, we spiced it up by choosing alternative treks, through the via ferratas and tunnels built by the soldiers of the great war. Here we have learnt that the edelweiss was not just a tourist magnet trick, our teachers had right about the mountain forming forces, hill-sides might have fall on your head once you chose the wrong way down and the blue had millions of shades here.
And finally, when we returned from the wilderness, the painful emptiness I felt, showed me that I fell in true and eternal love with these mountains.
