Trongsa Dzong

The monastic-administrative fortress of Trongsa dzong was founded in 1543 and subsequently enlarged to what is now the largest dzong in Bhutan with a maze of courtyards, buildings, temples and a central tower (utse). It sits on a spur high above the Mangde Chhu river. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trongsa_Dzong

Gegründet 1543, ist Trongsa Dzong die größte Klosterfestung in Bhutan. Der Dzong, der auch die weltliche Distriktsverwaltung beherbergt, ist auf einem Bergvorsprung hoch über dem Mangde Chhu Fluss. Die Festung wurde immer wieder erweitert und ausgebaut und ist nun ein unübersichtliches Wirrwarr an Innenhöfen, Gebäuden,Tempeln und einem Turm (utse).

HealthyFF!

niraK68 ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

tibet wollte ich mal, hab mich dann aber wegen der Höhe nicht getraut. ich hatte auf der Zugspitze mal probleme und das zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht wieder so richtig getestet und da war mir das Risiko zu groß und es wurde dann das südl. Afrika

6.5 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to niraK68 ^club

Tibet kann sehr problematisch werden, weil man nicht mal schnell 1000m tiefer kann, man hört da manchmal Horrorstories... Das mit der Höhenverträglichkeit ist unkalkulierbar, jung und fit hat damit nichts zu tun und wenn du's einmal vertragen hast, kann es dich beim 2. Mal trotzden erwischen.
