Due to the bad weather, my initially planned hike to two summits near Bludenz was not really possible. Besides, I was not sure whether I had a third day with 1000 metres elevation gain in me. So, I tried to squeeze in two rather short hikes along the Alvier creek near Bürs: Bürs canyon and Kessel waterfall. Continue reading Plan B in Bürs and Brand

Lech, or: Wanting more (profit)
I am torn what to think about Lech: On the one hand, the location is absolutely gorgeous, and there are lots of hiking opportunities. On the other hand, you also come across some negative aspects of (winter) tourism. Continue reading Lech, or: Wanting more (profit)

Crowds and views on Kanisfluh
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.

A Day in a Princedom
I started my trip through Austria with a day in – Liechtenstein! This might seem illogical, but why not visit this small country when I am close by: I arrived this morning by train in Feldkirch, just across the border from Liechtenstein. So, I spent a day exploring some of its town – and in the end, also Feldkirch in Austria. Continue reading A Day in a Princedom
