In, at, and on Lake Klopein
I am spending my first vacation this year at Lake Klopein. For the first one and a half days, I stayed around (and in/on) the very lake. Continue reading In, at, and on Lake Klopein

Stranger in my native land?
After spending most of my vacations further abroad in the past few years, the Corona crisis made me explore my home country Austria in more detail. Luckily, there are a lot of beautiful places to be found even that close to home.

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

Between a rock and a wet place
Today, I took a walk down memory lane: After about a quarter of a century, I visited Hochosterwitz Castle again. In the afternoon, I took advantage of the good weather, and went stand-up paddling on Lake Ossiach. Continue reading Between a rock and a wet place

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

A beautiful DecSeptember day in Gschlöß valley
Today was a really cold day: Just above freezing in the morning in the "valley" (if you still want to consider Matrei in Osttirol at just under 1000 metres above sea level to be in the valley), and a bit below freezing at the start of my hiking point (some further 500 metres higher up). Fortunately, it was sunny for the first two to three hours, which made my hike into Gschlöß valley a delight. Continue reading A beautiful DecSeptember day in Gschlöß valley

From winter with love
Winter is not only coming, it has already arrived in the mountains around Matrei in Osttirol this night: After a rainy day yesterday, the rain apparently changed to snow overnight. Nonetheless, I went on two shorter hikes in Virgen valley today. Continue reading From winter with love
