(25th August 2007) We treated ourselves to a nice, "easy" hike and bought the 12 euro lift tickets up to the top of the mountain officially called "Wank"! The walk was all downhill and took in a spectacular panorama. Indeed Vank is a classic flower pot hill with a 1000m ascent and the climbs are best avoided. Probably a very popular Ausflugsort!
