Today, I left the Rhine valley behind and moved to an accommodation in the Arlberg region. Instead of using the highway, I took the more windy, but also more scenic back roads through Bregenzerwald. This gave me the opportunity to also go hiking there. I decided for the hike to Kanisfluh, which proved to be quite popular – but for a good reason! Continue reading Crowds and views on Kanisfluh

Clouds at Lake Constance
Today, the weather unfortunately did not follow the weather forecast. It was actually supposed to be quite sunny. This is why I decided for a hike to the top of Pfänder mountain (with views of Bregenz and Lake Constance). Unforunately, though, it was quite cloudy, and I did not get the views I had hoped for.

Green Lunch
On my way home, I made a stop at Grüner See (which I already wanted to visit for a long time). It might not have been neither the ideal weather nor season, but it was still worth the detour. Continue reading Green Lunch
Hike, not bike
Originally, I wanted to rent a bike today and ride around Lake Ossiach. However, the rental place was closed. So, I had to change my plans and went hiking on Gerlitzen instead. In the afternoon, I also went stand-up paddling again. Continue reading Hike, not bike
Back to (late) summer
Today, I bid East Tyrol farewell. Luckily, this also meant that I left the snow behind. Instead, I was able to hike around Weißensee in a T-shirt – what a delight! Continue reading Back to (late) summer
Snow on the Alpine Pastures
After Virgen valley, Gschlöß valley, and (a short trip to) Defereggen valley in the past few days, I explored Kals valley today. I hiked up the Dabaklamm to Dorfer valley, and (almost) up to Dorfer lake. Continue reading Snow on the Alpine Pastures
