RE: Sunrise on the Mountain (2019-02-14)
Dizzy beauty. I have always loved mountains, but I have never seen such mountain ranges from close range. In my youth I was climbing and mountaineering, but I was not destined to conquer my peak)))
Thank you 😊 ... the video is really bad, I know, but the mountains are beautiful, as you say ;)
I did not know that you have mountains in the Ukraine, but Wikipedia has just taught me they are as high as the Dobratsch where I was filming this video (about 2000 meters). I don't know how far away you live from your mountains there, but it has to be quite a distance when you have never seen such mountain ranges, I think.
The highest mountains in Ukraine, it is the Carpathians. But, they do not make such an impression. The highest point is Mount Hoverla -2061 meters. These mountains are more like high hills. In the Crimea, when he was part of Ukraine, I loved to climb rocks. Rocks there are several hundred meters in height, but rather steep. From my house to the beginning of the mountains about five hundred kilometers, but this is not the grief that is in your photos.
500 kilometers? In 500 km you can cross the whole of Austria ;)
That's quite far away ... and I have never seen such high rocks before. But in our mountains, there are also rock faces that are so high. I don't like climbing in steep and high walls or on steep rocks - I'm too scared I could fall, even if I'm hanging on a rope.
Ukraine is a big country. This has its pluses and minuses))
You are right ... everything has two sides ;)
