This 2026/02/24 will already be the third time to Núi Đinh, and we have a new group: Simon is using his 50cc to travel with Pablo there, and Eddie is on vacation from Germany here to partner with me.
We start early on this Monday, 2026/02/24 at 6:30 at the KH, but don’t rush. After the ferry 7:27 it is time for a good breakfast. And shortly before the hike up the mountains we stop for a second coffee 10:34. The little 50cc bike got faster and faster, eventually passing larger bikes of the locals cruising with only 40 km/h on the QL51.
We reach the viewing platform at 12:15. The painted white compass there is still pointing into the wrong direction.
Hammock time 14:30, then an abandoned grave inside the forest is discovered at 16:00.
- 8.12 km hike
- 3:30 workout time, but 5:25 elapsed time 11:13 - 16:38, elevation gain 442 m, 1116 kcal
No need to rush now, 19:00 in a restaurant and leaving 21:00. Back home after midnight.
