A quick tour to one of my favourite hike spots - Sygno hilltop. This hill lies near a small lake, surrounded by grazing lands. Sheep and cows graze here on lazy summer days. Our trip this time was in late July, with no cattle grazing nearby. A quiet afternoon with no other hikers around is the best kind of hike; either for quiet self-contemplation or a lazy stroll, chatting along with old friends (as was the case here).
The hiking path skirts around the farmlands and gradually slopes up to the foot of the rocky hill. The hill top now is quite near, with a few minutes of the last rocky climb. Each stretch of the hike gives amazing views of the countryside, some views with windmills on the horizon, some with lakes and some with the long winding road, or all those sprawling hills where ever the eye wanders.
The day was cloudy, with some areas lit with the peeking sun and some in the shadow. This is quite visible in the panoramic photo from top (panoramas at the end of the post). These cloudy days are ideal for such landscape photos, with the clouds adding an extra dimension to the sky. In fact such cloudy days are also ideal for a hike.
