Today, the weather unfortunately did not follow the weather forecast. It was actually supposed to be quite sunny. This is why I decided for a hike to the top of Pfänder mountain (with views of Bregenz and Lake Constance). Unforunately, though, it was quite cloudy, and I did not get the views I had hoped for.

A Day in a Princedom
I started my trip through Austria with a day in – Liechtenstein! This might seem illogical, but why not visit this small country when I am close by: I arrived this morning by train in Feldkirch, just across the border from Liechtenstein. So, I spent a day exploring some of its town – and in the end, also Feldkirch in Austria. Continue reading A Day in a Princedom

Cycling along the Drau river
On the last (full) day of my holidays, I rented a bike to explore the area around Lake Klopein – and especially the Drau cycle path. Continue reading Cycling along the Drau river

A trip down memory lane gorge
After two days of exploring tourist destinations that I was not yet familiar with, it was time again for a trip down memory lane: with a visit to <span>Tscheppaschlucht gorge. Continue reading A trip down memory lane gorge

Petzen hike, or: Let’s have a look at Slovenia
Today, I explored the Petzen massif on the border of Austria and Slovenia. That also gave me the opportunity to see some of Slovenia – albeit only from the hiking trail hugging the border. Continue reading Petzen hike, or: Let’s have a look at Slovenia

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
