Where do I belong? (Day 5 & 6 of my trip)
🕑 Added 2021-11-21 17:12:35 +0000 UTCI noticed that I haven't show you my last days of the mountain trip. What a shame because I took one of my favourite photos then. Let's start with the fifth day.
After yesterday I was really tired and wanted to rest but I coudn't waste any more time in the mountains. I am so glad that I didn't because it was the day that touched my soul. I'll tell you why in a moment. Let's start with the beginning.
I wanted to see with my own eyes the waterfall that everybody told me about. I woke up early and took a bus ride to another village. It was a short drive, about 30-40 minutes long. From the bus stop I had to walk about 6 km through that village and then hike into the forest. The day was really hot so we had to take breaks. While walking through this town I saw a beatiful 100 year old house. It was built on a hill and had a tall tower attached to the main part of the house. The garden was really big and the view was breathtaking.
It was when a thought came for the first time, the thought about living there. I was thinking to myself - What if I could buy and renovate this stunning house? I quickly realised that I will probably never have enough money to buy it and live there for the rest of my life. It was sad, really sad. I felt heartbroken for a while but then I heard a water. I looked down and I saw a quiet big mountain river. I had to take some photos but there where some people around so I put on a white dress and sat on a big rock. I noticed a group of people up the river, that was taking a bath in this cold stream. I decided why not and took off my clothes! The water was freezing but I never felt happier.
The next stop was the famous waterfall. It was even more amazing than in the stories. I was standing on the top and watching the water hitting the bottom. It was truly enchanting. I can't even fully describe it's beauty.
I spend a long time there and after that it was time to go. I was walking for a few hours in the forest. No people around. The only noise was making the wind in the trees. Next to the trail were growing berries. So many of them. I stopped to try a bit and I've never eaten anything like this!
In this forest was also a clearing. On that clearing was standing this mighty tree... all alone. I belive it was my Yggdrasil. The thought came once again. What if... I was feeling there at home, I was happy. 1 km away was a small mountain village hidden in the forest. Only 5 little houses. I even spoke with one older lady and asked her about living there. I found out that there is actually some land for sale. It has to be a sign for me! :D
When I finally left the forest I saw an amazing view. That's when I knew that this is my home and I'll move there eventually. You can see it on the last picture.
Last day I went on a hike to the nearest mountain. I wasn't planning on taking any photos because I just wanted to enjoy the last hours here. But then I saw this field of flowers, where I took those fairy photos :)
I am planning to visit this place in the winter. Do you want me to take you guys with me again?
Love, Erinthul.
