Castel Pietra, Italy (don't go if you are scared of heights!)
Last wednesday we had to stay out of the house all day, by reasons I won't bore you with, so with no plan, we just went out...! The first idea was driving up to Passo Rolle, which is a beautiful mountains pass nearby, but we came to a closed road sign, which is no surprise, since many of the mountain roads has been and are still closed after the huge storm we had last week!
So we went the other way and as I caught the view of Castel Pietra, I thought let's go there!

(I dare to use the tag #wednesdaywalk since it was a walk.. that i did on a wednesday..!)

You know, I realised I don't even have a photo of this Castle Ruin from far! I have seen it so often, since you see it from Fiera di Primiero, that I didn't even take a photo of it! So I had to borrow this one to show you the view I saw :)
All other photos are mine.

Anyway we decided to go!
We parked the car at the little spot at the side of the road, not blocked by fallen trees (!) and ventured in through the trees. First we crossed a pristine little stream.

And not surprisingly, but sadly, the path to get to the rock and the castle was also hit by the storm and fallen trees!

We made our way and got to the rock!
The exact history of the Castle is unknown, but most certainly it has served as an escape from enemies or a lookout post.

Rock climbers climb these rocks with equipment, but for us non-equipped types, it's up that ladder you see here: 

![DSCF1425.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/M0bOBwPm-DSCF1425.JPG)

![DSCF1386.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/8hqcHaeS-DSCF1386.JPG)

You know, I'm not normally scared of heights. I have problems with tight spaces (I'd rather climb the ladder than take the elevator, if there was one..!) *But* climbing that ladder anyway gave me a bit the creeps! And I decided to do it alone and let papa stay with Willow down! I'm not taking my 3 year old up on that cliff, he's perfect size to go through the holes on that ladder! And there's a pretty serious drop under - I was too scared to start taking pictures on the middle of the stairs, but I'm sure you can imagine!

![DSCF1387.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/aN5upVEu-DSCF1387.JPG)

After the stairs there is a small bit to climb up the side of the cliff, and then you reach the castle wall, with no door, just a rope to climb up the ca. 3 meter high wall!

![DSCF1388.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/QE6k9uer-DSCF1388.JPG)

I don't know if the fact that I was up there alone made me more nervous, but fact is that I gave it one try, and then.. nah, gonna go and check out the view.. first..!

![DSCF1389.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/4aiCZi4c-DSCF1389.JPG)

Oh, drop!

![DSCF1392.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/HI3o656C-DSCF1392.JPG)

Then I got back to the wall and tried again. This time I almost got up to see over the wall, but came down again.

*Okay, I'm just gonna go back to Willow and Roberto.. They must be waiting..!*

Half down towards the stairs..

*Hell no! Now I've come this far, I can climb that petty wall! At least I can't make a steemit post with this ending you know!*

XD

So I did it and got over  the wall!

![DSCF1393.JPG](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/frejafri/2KMm38cQ-DSCF1393.JPG)

Inside little christmas trees are coming up all over and then I couldn't stop associating all those great window lookouts with @manoldonchev's last photo challenge "A Frame Within The Frame"!

View of the Valley - Fiera di Primiero and Tonadico

And this view must be so stunning - on a clear day..!
In general, the weather was not the best for photography, but at least it didn't rain..!

![DSCF1397.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYWFovyj44pvLFtXJj1WwTYWJ5KcVJ8jpyEDgDXUDUExJ/DSCF1397.JPG)

There was even a well, that high up on a rock!

![DSCF1403.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUjpy49rVErxfoeEKYGE1YQnF82NPXPhW63iUzXC6yVHQ/DSCF1403.JPG)

And then there was a little surprise gift box!

![DSCF1411.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXA7dmbVHUFdM7u6oowvT66uDX6FdqXQYWgzzKUYtGfnB/DSCF1411.JPG)

People had left little cars - and condoms for someone who might need them ;) Unfortunately my pockets were empty. I would have left a little drawing if I had something to draw with.

![DSCF1415.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaD8Br9KqfMWY7GiGSdR2xqFVtV6xMEeoWfP64SjU2LpJ/DSCF1415.JPG)

In retro perspective I could have found some coals in this little wall-fireplace and painted with on one of the tickets - don't know why I didn't think of that!

*View down from where we came from with all the fallen trees*

Time to get back. Now I just have to climb down the rope....!

![DSCF1422.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmahKn8b94ncjQGy94gbdfo2L28L89ZMpXV6EFoguQJMCB/DSCF1422.JPG)

... and down the ladder

![DSCF1423.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNx8Hj4zwu5UfCwv7yHjzHUm5iPnRp1Q53uw4S9hm2b42/DSCF1423.JPG)

To these two waiting

![DSCF1424.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU9LAiXTjVhgzaKB1hghnyViZzWspsC1yDfkuDpDpRxEK/DSCF1424.JPG)

We went back to the car and hunted for a place to get something warm to drink, but everywhere was closed. 
We saw a lot of more fallen forest along the way, it is really scary to witness such destruction so close.. And just a week later hear about all the forest fires near to friends houses in California!
What is happening to our forests and nature..!? We cannot afford losing more trees!

![DSCF1426.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbs99qdkn3Z75BGRUzsZvbyE4C11pRNAubdu4w7rJFD5b/DSCF1426.JPG)

![DSCF1431.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf8iGQPDWF6uttDBZJ3i7J1XznaPE7RCGokJToAYbvVVA/DSCF1431.JPG)

With that sad closing note I just want to honour and love every tree still standing, and remember those there are gone with love and gratefulness.

haha, it wasn't that relaxing for me either, but I guess if you don't have your family waiting (and worrying about your kid fallen down the hill you left him on (he actually did fall I found out, but not far!)) - it would be relaxing to just sit up there for a while and overlook the valley!

I was on the edge of my seat. I could NOT believe you were going to let your son up that ladder. Then I laughed, of course you didn't. The views were amazing but this trip was definitely not for someone like me. 

I didn't realize I was afraid of heights but those pictures sure made my stomach turn. 

What is up with that abandoned castle? We are going to have to write a story to go with it some day. Perhaps a writing challenge? 

Last time I was camping here in California I heard a tree fall and the sound was amazing, and super scary. It happened so fast, it sounded so scary and it reminded me that we are nothing compared to the vastness of nature. 

Yes, California is on fire again... The air is bad and it will be an indoor day. 

Hope all is well with you and make sure to stop by discord and pick up a copy of our banner. We would be honored for you to use it!

Actually I usually use the banner, but forget the tag - this time I remembered the tag but forgot the banner, haha XD
Thank you, yeah, I'd be so scared if my son went up there too!
Sure a writing challenge would be great :D

What a trip! I'm not afraid of heights and I don't mind that ladder. I wouldn't probably stop in the middle to take photos though. But that rope!? :D Climbing up.. well, I think I would do it.. but climbing down? I have no idea how I would manage.. I think it was good that you left your family behind. It would be too dangerous for your little one.

I actually like when there are some clouds. It looks more real. Yeah, I know that the view would be nicer without the clouds but I don't mind :)

I love castles! They are such magical places with so much history. And this one is even mysterious as its history is not very well known. 

I'm sorry to hear that there are so many fallen trees in the forest. And I must have been living under the rock lately but I've heard about the fires in California just a couple of hours ago.. 

Thank you for sharing! It's a pity you were not able to leave anything behind but it is a reason for you to come back and draw something for other people to see :)

Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much for you long comment! Haha, yes I was like, "...oh.. I didn't think about getting back down the rope again..!" But actually it was easier going down than up, apart from that my scarf got stuck under the rope, haha.

Hahaha, did you have a signal there? I'm sure I would be inside of the castle and I would realize DUH!?! How the hell am I supposed to get back? And then I would call my husband to rescue me :D I usually don't have problems to go up but going down is much more scary to me :D I hope you were not forced to leave your scarf there :D

The views from up there are really amazing! I really wouldn't mind going up there, it looks like a fun adventure, well, with a bit of scare... But you did it!!! 

Look at how adorable your kid is, no no... There is no way he is going up there. Lol. Thank goodness you didn't let it happen.

And escape, was there a time of war in Italy back then? Well, it certainly looks like it was made for escape... Or maybe more.....

It's sad to see those trees down, really and the fire in California, that is so sad as well.  I just hope that we get past this and the people in California are safe... Hope your friends are? For the trees, we could do our little part to plant them back, if we can. I think it will go a long way....

Thank you!
Yes I think all the valleys were occasionally fighting each other in the past ;P Actually this part of Italy used to be Austria until the end of 1st world war, so it's definitely been a borderline fight along the times..
I have a couple of friends in Chico CA, but fortunately they are all out of danger, though a friend of mine's family in one of the villages hit by the fires had to evacuate, but at least they are safe now.
Yes I always try to plant trees when I have the chance! But it's difficult to compete with 100.000 of acres of cleared full grown trees!

I am glad your friends and their families are safe now, I can't imagine how tensed you were earlier...

It definitely can't compete but that little effort doesn't go unnoticed...😊 and if we all can put in that little effort, I am sure it will all get better!

Wow! You go to some marvelous places! I always enjoy your sharing of your travels. Aren't you glad you climbed that rope? Such amazing photos and a much better feel being inside the castle instead of just looking at it from the outside. 
That really was a very devastating storm. It's heart breaking to see all that destruction. It makes our remaining forests seem even more precious. Thanks for sharing!

I love castles, every time I can visit those of my country, although they are not as beautiful as those of Europe, that cool that you take your son for the adventures but without putting him at risk, the landscape is phenomenal as well as the architecture of the castle.

that funny the trunk with cars and condoms, sure many people have done crazy things on the site xD

on the other hand that saddens the felled trees, every time I see a tree on the ground I am ashamed with the human race, so stupid are we to destroy other beings ?

Despite everything, the place is fantastic, should be admired and respected by all.

Thank you for sharing your family adventure <3

I am definitely afraid of heights and I'm not sure I would have been able to do it hahaha but it looks like so much fun!  I may have just sucked it up to get an authentic view inside the castle.  It looks like such a great time!

At first I thought I had driven by the same castle!  I'm sure there are many castles throughout Italy though.  Unfortunately I was wrong.  The one I drove by was on a road trip I took from France to Turin.  Take a look at this picture, it actually looks very similar.  I'm not sure the name of the castle.  I just know it was on the highway that passes underneath Mont Blanc.

Thank you for sharing pictures from your journey!  Despite the heights I hope one day I can go on a hike just like it.  Cheers!

I´ve never been to Italy, but your pics make me want to visit.  Keep sharing, at least when I watch them I can pretend I´m there for a few seconds!

I would not go up this ladder for anything and especially, I could not get back down. You are brave! I would wait with your little one. I am glad to see your spectacular views though from down on the ground where I am safe!

It's so sad to see these trees fallen. This looks just like what is happening in Southern California where I was. The conifers are getting diseased and falling over. Yes, there are fires, but this is something else. They say it is bugs in Socal, but I'm not sure. 

You have a very exciting wednesdaywalk!

Oh no, another reason for trees falling, I am really worried and sad to hear that...
Every collapse of every civilisation so far known can be traced back to deforestation. If it wasn't enough that we cut trees on purpose, now diseases, storms and forest fires even speed things up on a mass scale...! D:
Thank you for your comment!

Oh dear! That make me feel worse too. It was so sad driving in East County and seeing the forests so dead. And even in the beach town I lived in, the older trees are dying off. I still follow that place in fb and they just had a huge tree fall over in the main park. They investigated and could not find any reason for this at all. I hope for some positive news on this topic soon.

That is a great place to hiking, I have not heard about Castel Pietra, but like the way you presented the place, the pictures are so beautiful capturing important moments. I like the ladder with safety rings so that people have a feeling that they are a bit protected, I do not think I would climb it up, But I believe once you are on the top, then you discover such unique view that is worth to overcome your fear and do it. The little "treasure box" is really cute, I like the idea people leave there something just in memory. Thank you for the trip to this wonderful place :)

You’re something else! I totally held my breath reading this post. Scary ladder and that rope!!! And you didn’t give up, you could’ve hurt yourself. Crazy mama. The pics you took up there are very good, I hope you will get some big monetary rewards for them, you deserve it for sure. 😊

Wow, what an amazing adventure! And that ladder up looks daunting. It makes me think of the severe climbing at Bar harbor in Maine in USA. I am afraid of heights, but @winstonalden always shimmies up the metal rings and ladders hammered into the face of mountain rocks.

And what amazing photographs as well.

What a lovely family you three make :D Hah I almost have written tree.  I've seen similar images of fallen trees like 10 years ago in Slovakia when a huuuuge wind made this happen. Those trees were not suitable for that area but got grown there by communists 50 years ago. Now all gone and politicians are of course happy cuz what? Free wood! The ladders and rope would be fine for me :) My favorite pic was the kiddo climbing over those fallen trees hahah :D Oh and btw, it was a bit disturbing for my taste - soo many various filters. If I was you, I'd stick with just one or maybe two for the whole post. Might be just my taste tho..

I actually didn't use any filters XD Or I guess you could call it filters.. It's just a setting on my camera that increases contrast, but I agree it is disturbing - but I wouldn't call 2 sooo many, you suggest two yourself ;D Oh of course I used black and white too, I guess you are right. 3 then. :/ I just couldn't change it back after taking the photos, and I like to play around with the settings of the camera.. :S

These trees are all native to this area though, and I think the only one cheering about this disaster has been you so far! I live with the mayor of the town (=politician) and for sure all the destroyed nature is not something he is happy about. Selective cutting is always more sustainable than clearing areas, and of course the loggers will have less to log, but they have a lot of work in cleaning up and getting trees out of very difficult places... Free wood maybe for now if you clear cut, but wood for always if you sustain the growth of the forest.

So pleased you made that extra extra extra last effort to climb the wall with the rope to reach the castle. What an amazing feat and the photographs you are now able to share with us are all the more to treasure. 

Last Sunday was *Remembrance Day* here in Australian ~ It was said to be the strongest 11:11:11 time for the last 100 years. It doesn't just finish on that day either ~ The energy continues to grow and so I love how you finished by saying:

> I just want to honour and love every tree still standing, and remember those there are gone with love and gratefulness.

Thank you! Yes I was really being all suspicious about all these events just up to 11.11.11, but I guess we need destruction before change, I just hope that other things than trees will fall... ;)
Let's all work towards a positive change!
