plöckenpass (passo di monte croce carnico), IT-AT border

stop-over #3 (after izola, slovenia + udine, italy) at our way home from istria, croatia was a nice hiking tour at the austrian-italian-border at plöckenpass (passo di monte croce carnico) close to paluzza with a starting point at 1357m. it was cold and really nice. we stayed all time from the italian side of the border and yes, we did not visit the WWI war museum. the bunkers + the shooting ranges along the hiking path out there were bad enough for us pacifists 😇
