Unfortunately, the weather did not really cooperate: Since the day before, it was raining most of the time, sometimes quite heavily. So, all I did today was a short stroll around and through Radstadt. Continue reading Rain in Radstadt

Working on vacation?
I don’t really like to work on vacation. Nevertheless, I have to interrupt my vacation for three days of work – or, more precisely, I will extend my vacation for a few more days after three days of work.
Originally, my vacation should already have ended yesterday. However, there will be a workshop in Kaprun over the next three days, and driving back and forth would have been pointless. Since I do not want to drive the long distance to Vienna after the workshop on Wednesday evening either, I took Thursdays and Fridays off as well. So my vacation is to be continued – if the weather cooperates…
Unfortunately only a stroll
Today, I wanted to enjoy the views from up top (i.e. from around 2000 metres) once again. For that purpose, I took the cablecar to Resterhöhe, where I went on a stroll (on wide, flat paths) to Zweitausender summit. Continue reading Unfortunately only a stroll
Long Day of Museums
Today was a rather untypical day for me: It was focused on tourist sights and museums. Still, I also managed to squeeze in a short hike in the morning. In the afternoon, I visited Hohenwerfen Castle. In the evening, I finally participated in the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (Long Night of Museums). Continue reading Long Day of Museums
Unfortunately no stroll
I would have liked to go on the "Pinzgauer Spaziergang" today. However, with six to six and a half hours of pure walking time, it sounded too stressful to me, as I only had about seven hours available (due to limited run times of the cablecars). So, I opted for a round trip over some mountains just above this "Pinzgauer Spaziergang" instead – and was not disappointed. Continue reading Unfortunately no stroll
Krimml Waterfalls
I already wanted to visit the Krimml Waterfalls during my trip through Austria last year. However, one and a half hours of driving each way was too much for me. So, I planned my route this year to include a visit. Therefore, on my way from Tyrol to Salzburg, I stopped over in Krimml today for a closer look at the (very impressive) waterfalls. Continue reading Krimml Waterfalls
In the centre of Innsbruck
Today was a rainy (and hence lazy) day. In the afternoon, I got a bit restless after all, and decided pay Innsbruck a short visit. Continue reading In the centre of Innsbruck
Gorge(ou)s in Karwendel
Today, I visited two gorges in the Karwendel mountains: Wolfsklamm and Tiefenbachklamm. Continue reading Gorge(ou)s in Karwendel
Exploring a lake on foot
As the weather was supposed to be changeable today, I decided to stay down below, and explored Achen Lake – but also from a hiking trail: On the Western side of the lake, there is a narrow footpath hugging the mountain, with gorgeous views of the lake below. Continue reading Exploring a lake on foot
Schlick is sick
Today, it was supposed to be once again quite warm and sunny (at least in the morning). Therefore, I decided to take another excursion to the montains above 2000 metres, this time in Stubai valley: I took the Gondola up to the Schlick 2000 sking area which boast some beautiful alpine hikes. All in all, I had a great day (even though I did not do the hike I originally intended to, because I missed the right turn). Continue reading Schlick is sick
