We have reached the Muga-valley and are close to the border.
This picture gives a nice view of the rocky ridge which
constitutes the borderline between bm538 to bm541.
Move the mouse over the picture to see the approximate places of the bordermarkers. |

We're on our wasy to
Hostal de la Muga. The winding road along and above the Muga will further on
descend to the Muga and the Hostal.
This is a view ahead along the valley of the Muga. In the far distance
the steep beginning of this river. |

Bm533
Near Hostal de la Muga 17.15-18.30 I try to find
bm528 and bm529.
However, above bm533 I'm soon trapped in the bush. Last year I could
find bm532 much more easily.

JW stayed at our tents, in the background the abandoned Hostal de la
Muga.
It's a mysterious place: beautiful, deserted & intensely quiet. |
