In the wild traffic of the big city of Prague, as an inexperienced rural driver, I got in the way of a van in the next lane. Only thanks to the presence of mind of an experienced (and appropriately angry) driver from the metropolis, there was no collision.

Or maybe yes, but we definitely wouldn&#8217;t make it there and back in four days. We had a journey of almost 1100 km to the canton of Walis, in the district of Leuk in Switzerland at an altitude of 1411 m.a.s.l. The spa town of Leukerbad, literally nestled in a deep Alpine valley, is renowned for its thermal springs. It is not a ski resort, so the rhythm of this town is slower, calmer, more comfortable in a way. Just below the steep mountain slopes is the lower station of the cable car, the upper station of which ends at the Gemmipass saddle at an altitude of 2344 m.a.s.l. That was the ultimate destination of our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"jig2\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-a12e5dadd70e535705a21520e9eae8bd jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig2-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A8432tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/80, Av 11, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A8432tit.jpg\" alt=\"Canton of Walis\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Canton of Walis<br\/>Canon EOS R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/80, Av 11, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few tens of meters from the wonderful mountain hotel on the edge of the cliff was our campsite for the next two days. Along the several hundred meter vertical south wall of the Plattenhorner mountain massif 2854 m.a.s.l. in the winter months, the real rulers of the local sky &#8211; Bearded vultures (Gypaetus barbatus) fly by. No one knows why several specimens spend part of their lives in this particular place every winter. No more food was noted to occur here than at other sites over this period. They do not even occupy nesting territories here, because they nest in another place in the Alps. On its wide spread wings, it only sails here among the mountain giants, maybe just for fun. As if they were enjoying the surrounding breathtaking views and snowy panoramas. They just fly in to enjoy their winter vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div id=\"jig3\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-729270609bf21522baf3d386851459db jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig3-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7961tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7961tit.jpg\" alt=\"Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)<br\/>Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><br><div id=\"jig4\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-70e8adee6ed04a0e50a8eef72bbf9613 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig4-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7721tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1600, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 400, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7721tit.jpg\" alt=\"Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)\" width=\"1062\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)<br\/>Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1600, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 400, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, an observer or photographer only rarely experiences the experience of being in the immediate vicinity of majestic birds, some days not at all. In my case, during our two-day stay here, I was lucky to be unlucky. During the first day, we observed the eagle vulture at close range twice. In the first case, when one specimen flew by about 20 meters from us, my battery died. Before I could change the battery, of course the eagle owl was there. In the second case, when he appeared under the hotel terrace we were standing on, I had a wide-angle lens on my camera for a change. So a strong experience, yes, but no photos. Fortunately, the eagle owls gave me one more chance. They let us admire their majesty right in the vertical rock wall of the Plattenhorner massif, even if only from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"jig5\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-c60d58434ef66ce7ab95dadda03c48e6 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig5-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7900tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/gemmipass\/B12A7900tit.jpg\" alt=\"Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Bearded vultures \/ orlosup bradat\u00fd (Gypaetus barbatus)<br\/>Canon EOS R5, Canon RF 100-500mm f\/4.5-7,1 L IS USM, tripod : yes, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000, Av 7,1, Exp.comp. 0, ISO 1000, 3.2.2023, Switzerland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But the time between the arrivals of the eagle-vultures was not just about waiting in periodic gusts of mild gales.
