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

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

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

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
