Today, the weather was supposed to be a bit more unstable again. However, the latest days with “changeable” weather actually turned out quite nice. So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!

Lots of tourists at Tre Cime di Lavaredo
Today, I went on one of the most famous hikes in the region: around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. As it is a very well-known hike, I was definitely not the only one with this plan. Still, this area has its good reputation for a reason! Continue reading Lots of tourists at Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Stepping stones
The weather today (blue skies with sunshine) basically demanded another hike. I decided to go up to Speikboden, which is located already quite near the Austrian border. Continue reading Stepping stones

Hiking in South Tyrol 201
Today, the weather forecast was again more suitable for hiking: still some clouds and a bit cooler, but at least no rain. So, I dedicated my time to the Dolomite mountains again. Again, I chose the modus operandi that I already applied two days ago: going up by cable car, and then a leisurely hike at 2000+ meters above sea level. Continue reading Hiking in South Tyrol 201

Busloads of tourists in Bolzano
As today was supposed to be another rather rainy day, I opted for city sightseeing instead of hiking: I went to Bozen (as it was least likely to rain there). Continue reading Busloads of tourists in Bolzano

Hiking in South Tyrol 101
When you are researching hiking areas in South Tyrol, you will stumble across Seiser Alm (Alpe di Siusi) rather sooner than later. This alpine meadow is very well-known – and for a good reason, as I could see for myself on today’s hike. Continue reading Hiking in South Tyrol 101

More tourists in Merano
Originally, I wanted to visit Merano today on my way from one accommodation to the next. However, as the weather forecast promised rain, I decided to go a day early. So, I could enjoy Meran in sunshine – even though the weather today did not turn out to be that bad. Continue reading More tourists in Merano

Exploring Val Venosta
It is finally time to travel again! I am still limiting myself to (Central) Europe, though: I will be spending my time in South Tyrol and Slovenia. I started my trip with a few days in Val Venosta, in the West of South Tyrol. Continue reading Exploring Val Venosta

I spent the last day of my vacation in Lower Austria: After staying overnight in Göstling an der Ybbs, I went on a hike in the area of Lunz am See, visiting three lakes in total. Continue reading All good lakes do come in threes

Books always make a room better
Slowly, it is time to think about returning home. So, I drove East today. My first stop was at Admont Abbey to visit the impressive Admont Abbey Library. In the afternoon, I went hiking in Waterhole Gorge. Continue reading Books always make a room better
