Me gusta pasear por la montaña los fines de semana. El aire es fresco y limpio. Las vistas son muy bonitas desde arriba.
Preparar la mochila
Antes de salir, preparo mi mochila pequeña. Pongo agua, un sándwich y una manzana. También llevo una chaqueta porque hace frío en la cima.
El camino de subida
El sendero no es muy difícil. Hay rocas grandes y árboles a los lados. Veo flores silvestres de colores amarillos y morados.
Descansar en el mirador
A mitad de camino hay un mirador. Me siento en una piedra grande para descansar. Bebo un poco de agua y respiro aire fresco.
Animales del bosque
A veces veo ardillas corriendo entre los árboles. Escucho pájaros cantando muy alto. Es tranquilo y relajante estar aquí.
La cima de la montaña
Después de una hora, llego a la cima. Puedo ver todo el valle desde aquí. El pueblo pequeño parece un punto abajo.
Bajar de regreso
El camino de bajada es más fácil y rápido. Tengo cuidado con las piedras sueltas. Llego a casa cansado pero muy feliz.
