Today, I was hiking in Lower Austria. More precisely, I explored the Ötschergraben. With just under two hours drive from Vienna, this is at the limit of what is acceptable for a day trip. However, it was definitely worth it.

The Ötschergraben is a quite deep canyon with a length of about six kilometres. The rugged canyon walls are very impressive, and the crystal clear waters of the Ötscherbach add to the beauty. Even the hiking trail is an attraction in itself, as it huggs the steep canyon walls, and sometimes even goes through them.
