Croatia, a adventure

Croatia, a adventure, Part 1

Hi,
this year i bought a Honda Wave 110i, but the trip from germany to south-croatia is to far (about 1200km
oneway) for this small motobike. So i put it in my car and make daytrips.

My first stop was on the grossglockner pass (austria) for one night (cars 34,50 EUR). The
weather was famous on 2500m and i look around. The stepy streets are a hard work for the small Honda
Wave.

On the next day i look the glacier and saw many climbers walk to the top of the Grossglockner 3798m

Grossglockner summit is on the left side

I took the easy way and walk up to 3000m for lunch. On the way many marmots and ibex, they
are not to scary

On this way I must cross a glacier and climb a little bite

Oberwalderhütte 2979m

The next stop was in north-croatia for the pula bikeweek. I post some pics here:

Peljesac Island with nice bays

A trekking one-day-trip goes up to the highest mountain of the island, named Sv Ilija. I like
the beautiful tree who looks like spear

On the top, 960m, wow. The island on the right side is korcula. The city down on the coast is orebic.

A interessting motorbike-trip is the armee station on the mountain with this one:

No signs to this nice place, that's why I been alone here

Down on the coast

This island has many wine farms and -shops

I love this palm in south croatia
