We had already been to the provincial park of Mount Moria. So since the plain was immersed in the fog we decided to return to the park hoping to get out of the gray blanket.
And we were rewarded.
Almost suddenly we came out of the grayness into a clear blue sky.
Down below, almost fairytale country, peaks, towns and houses sprouted from the clouds.

A bit of history:
The park was established in 1925 in order to safeguard the wooded area rich mainly in chestnut trees.
Despite its creation, the park came to a total abandonment and was used for the production of timber and coal.
Since 1988 it has been constituted a consortium of protection by private citizens with some local mountain municipalities.
