After a night to not necessarily flat ground (I had turned 180 degrees once in the evening in a tent, since the position was uncomfortable and I am now with their feet "downhill" was), it was fresh on the morning after breakfast. The night was again very cold and frost and thin ice covered the grass and little water.
the day today I have started a little early for something rauszuholen route. At 07:45 I was on the road.
first small obstacle: Couillade de Pédourrés. Since I have camped but it is about to rise only a 5 minutes. From here there is a beautiful view over the way the next few hours:
view of the valley of l'Hospitalet The path is to run on something slippery mud well. Soon I'm at the height of the Etang de Pedoures. Again, this lake is via pipes and ducts connected to other lakes. To see a receipt put bars on the mountain where a huge slide is announced this at the other End of the lake there is a small dam. How do you get out up here, actually the cement? Here and there there are on embankments and concrete residue.
Etang de Pedoures, facing SE some point the go downhill very strenuous and heavily loaded legs. Now and then I will also meet other hikers. Meanwhile, the sun burns like solid from the sky and I have my head with the buff from the sun.
behind the nearest lake, also with a dam, l'Hospitalet comes slowly into view.
oncoming traffic! in l'Hospitalet is a hydroelectric power plant. The hang man is thick pipelines overcome the 500m level difference. The water pressure at 500 meters must be enormous.
pipeline is at l'Hospitalet près l'Andorre In 2000m the vegetation slowly closer. Now the path leads through a beautiful autumn colored deciduous forest.
autumn Good opportunity for a break.
My backpack with a tent on the side, I have only 4 nights. The trail be established in the pipeline, it seems to date to not be in operation, the trigger with a stick they are empty "sounds". A short time later, l'Hospitalet près l'Andorre is fully in sight. The place is not exactly pretty, cut up the valley by road and rail.
l'Hospitalet près l'Andorre 
Incl. Train is in place a Gite d'Etape, a youth hostel. Actually I wanted to spend the last night here, but the distance was too far. It is just over 11 when I arrived in town. Unfortunately, I find the shop mentioned in the Cicerone guide for food, so I ask about the gite. The Woman there even spoke German, nice to once again be able to speak German. The shop has closed the entire week, but luckily they could give me anything sell for less money that I needed:
A nice break with feedback in the home soon complemented it. On the other side of the valley, the path leads back up, I have the altitude I am descended completely to rise again.
GR107 Further up the path is narrow, it winds its zig-zag up the mountain, usually, turn left down very very steep.
view of the valley in the direction Ax-Les-Thermes And further up ...
GR milestone After about 500 meters of built the path and just very good. Links appear on old concrete structures, it looks like bunker to store anything. The bunkers are sealed at the top with heavy steel doors. Those that are open, are filled with garbage. A little further, two or three closed buildings and rail radicals:
rail remains on the mountain - an old mine or remnants of the construction of the pipelines to the water power station in the valley? little further are heavy concrete foundations. Probably for steel towers? Maybe it something completely different - radio towers? Eventually everything was also supporting the construction of the dam at the Etang de besines.
foundations The path is excellent over a few kilometers.
On the way up - in the distance you see the passport of the need to traverse. At Etang de besines invites the neighborhood to take a short break.
Etang de besines short three is the last increase before the Refuge de besines, past a small cabana. Here's a look back over the beautiful lake:
view of the Refuge de besines and the inflow top of the Refuge I take a long break and solve sleeping bag and everything in some form gorge or wet is in the sun through.
Refuge de besines From there, it is also a good view. Since it is not too late, I'm me again higher up on the road. According to Cicerone Guide involved will have the top nor good campsites. As the weather is consistently great, I'm on my way.
view of the Col d'Agnel de Coume reach around 17:30 I had a wonderful (nameless?) Shallow mountain lake, just over 100m below the pass "Col d'Agnel de Coume"
mountain lake in front of the Col d'Agnel de Coume Well situated in quiet in the evening light the tent. After everything was and dinner simmering I have a half bath in the lake. The water was absolutely freezing - uuurgh! The outflow from the lake was interesting, the water disappeared only under rocks and then gurgled under the long grass, under rocks overgrown with grass.
My tent in the evening sun. The sleeping bag straight airs.
