Lake Hallstatt by land and water
As I am staying close to Lake Hallstatt, it was only logical to dedicate one day to explore the area around the lake. So, today I went hiking on the East Shore Trail, stand-up paddling on the Southern part, and swimming in Obertraun. Continue reading Lake Hallstatt by land and water

Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Mountains
As a heat wave is currently hitting Europe, I decided to spend an extended weekend in the mountains. So, I enjoyed three days of bright sunshine on Dachstein plateau at about 1,800 metres above sea level. Even though the afternoons were also quite hot up there, it was definitely much better than the 35° C (and more) in Vienna. Continue reading Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Mountains
