Austria: Hike & Fly - Grlovec with a refreshment in Resnica Lake

Today we had a family time and we decided to start it with a hike to Grlovec (Ferlacher Horn). Nada, Klara, Aleš, Tim, Bronco and me drove to Zgornji Kot (Zell - Oberwinkel), where we parked below the Franc farm. From there we simply followed the marked trail to the top of Grlovec, 1840 m. We all enjoyed the view and soon I set up my glider and I flew down to Resnica lake, where Andreja and Matic were waiting by the lake. Others had a little longer way down, still we were all swimming in a lake after a while.

Tim, Bronco and me were the quickest on on the top.

Cross on the top with the view to the West.

Quite a windy day and my first take off attempt wasn't successful.

2nd attempt was better and I was in the air.

First I flew towards the South and then around the hill to the North.

Straight towards the Resnica lake.

Grlovec is the highest hill, left from my hand.

Drava is a 710 kilometres long river that flows through 5 countries, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.

Our destination, Resnica lake - Garmin Connect.
