Our final mountain day before turning north and home. Unfortunately, the weather was dull and there was low cloud on all the tops. However, undaunted we set out to walk up the Holzorte Gorge. Another opportunity to expose ourselves! The gorge is crossed by a suspension bridge, which looks incredibly flimsy as you approach it but, apart from a few holes in the planks and a definite bounce as you cross it, it is more robust than you think. The drop is incredible, you can't see the bottom; there is just the noise of the cataract (swelled by the heavy rainfall in the mountains the previous night) below. Not much in the way of views, the cloud clung obstinately onto the tops; so we slid and splashed our way round, including a long descent that made our knees scream for mercy.
