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

All good lakes do come in threes
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

Rain in Radstadt
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
