Воттоваара — хорошее место для первой в вашей жизни горной экскурсии. Там всего по чуть-чуть: чуть-чуть подъёма (максимальный уклон градусов 60 от горизонта), чуть-чуть горной тропы (длина пути до верха около 2км), чуть-чуть высоты (417 метров). Хардкорные трекеры и хайкеры преодолевают такие участки одной ногой, не прекращая завтрак. Но неподготовленный человек сможет понять, есть ли для него смысл пытаться идти в какие-то более сложные горы.
Даже "заброс" на гору есть. Но если в больших горах это вертолёт или вездеход по болоту, то здесь вас около часа везут на внедорожнике через камни и лужи метровой глубины. Да, обычный автомобиль (даже кроссовер) там не пройдёт совершенно никак, нужен высокий, полноприводный и обязательно со шнорхелем. Но это всё равно более доступная территория, чем какое-нибудь Плато Путорана, куда вообще не рекомендуют соваться туристам без хорошего опыта пеших походов.
Впрочем, тут ироничный момент. База отдыха на подъезде живёт исключительно на туристах, которые хотят посетить Воттоваару. Теоретически она могла бы проспонсировать если не асфальтирование, то хотя бы проход грейдера по "дороге" и присыпку грунтом: это существенно уменьшило бы степень опасности для людей и степень износа техники, а также значительно подняло бы удобство и скорость доставки. Но тогда люди могли бы добраться на своих машинах и не брать на базе дорогой трансфер. Думаю, в какой-то момент и внедорожники потеряют способность проезжать там, нужен будет гусеничный вездеход.
Прикольно, что, чем выше идёшь, тем ниже деревья. Гора как бы награждает тебя за усилия всё более красивыми и просторными видами. В целом территория будто бы инопланетная. Очень странно себя там чувствуешь — ты словно и не на Земле уже, и вообще не в реальности, а внутри какого-то странного рисунка.

#SGDengueUpdate Over 4,500 dengue cases have been reported this year, and there are currently 12 active dengue clusters. Although recent weekly dengue cases have been lower than during the same period in 2020, we should all continue to stay vigilant, to prevent a year-end rise in dengue cases amid higher circulation of less common Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3)!

#SGDengueUpdate The number of weekly dengue cases has come down slightly to 156 cases as of 23 Jan. However, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is still high in parts of Singapore. Coupled with a sizeable proportion of people still working from home, the risk of dengue remains high in 2021.
The strong support from our stakeholders and the public helped to bring down the weekly number of dengue cases from its peak of 1,792 in Jul 2020. Let’s stay vigilant in this fight against dengue! Here’s how: www.nea.gov.sg/stop-dengue
#SGDengueUpdate 281 weekly dengue cases were reported last week, reversing the downward trend in the number of weekly dengue cases over the past 6 weeks. The Aedes mosquito population has also increased by 11% since the second week of Nov. Let’s all stay vigilant and do our part to reduce the Aedes mosquito population! Learn more: go.gov.sg/mozzieproof
