Austria: Pristovški Storžič

For Sunday hike Nada and me choose one of the peaks with a great view in vicinity, Pristovški Storžič. We drove to Jezerski vrh and started hiking just across the border in Austria. Overall we made a nice round trip with many great photos.

Start of the hike is at Jezerski vrh / Seebergsattel, on the border between Slovenia and Austria.

Beautiful day

Cross with "Kärnten frei und ungeteilt" was placed at the top at 42. anniversary of the Carinthian plebiscite, that determined the final southern border between the Republic of Austria and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) after World War I.
