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.

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

High above Innsbruck
My current accommodation is in the Inn valley. So, a trip into the mountains above Innsbruck is basically a must. I decided for a trip up with the Patscherkofel cable car. From the mountain station, I walked the "Zirbenweg" and hiked up to Glungezer summit. Continue reading High above Innsbruck

All good lakes come in threes fives or sixes
On the way to my next accommodation, I took the scenic route today: I went via Neder valley and Sellrain valley instead of taking the highway through Inn valley. At Kühtai saddle, I went on a hike to three lakes (though I stretched it out to visit five, with a view of a sixth one). Continue reading All good lakes come in threes fives or sixes

Sticking to in Ötz valley
Originally, I had looked up hikes in (almost) all of Western Tyrol for my stay in Ötz valley. However, I liked the view from my accommation (see title image) too much. So, I decided to stick to Ötz valley itself. In the end, I spent three days hiking there: around Piburg Lake, at Stuibenfall, and at Hochoetz. Continue reading Sticking to in Ötz valley

The Silvretta High Fog Road
I seem to have bad luck with High Alpine Roads: I always end up in the clouds. Last year, it was like that (at least partly) on the Großglockner High Alpine Road. Today, I drove from Vorarlberg to Tyrol on the Silvretta High Alpine Road. Again, the low clouds prevented me from seing any mountain tops. Fortunately, I was a bit more lucky further down the Paznaun valley, in Galtür. Continue reading The Silvretta High Fog Road

The mountains of Montafon
I spent the last three days in Montafon. Weather-wise, I had almost every season: clouds, bright sunshine, and rain. While some weather conditions made an exploration of the mountains somewhat difficult, I have still seen quite a bit – and I sure liked what I have seen! Continue reading The mountains of Montafon
