Look at this lake!
Today, the weather was supposed to be a bit more unstable again. However, the latest days with “changeable” weather actually turned out quite nice. So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!

Lots of tourists at Tre Cime di Lavaredo
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

Stepping stones
The weather today (blue skies with sunshine) basically demanded another hike. I decided to go up to Speikboden, which is located already quite near the Austrian border. Continue reading Stepping stones

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

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

Crossing Austria
After touring the central region of Austria the year before, I focused on the West (i.e. Vorarlberg and Tyrol) during my trip in the second year of the pandemic. In the end, I (almost) crossed the whole country from West to East – including a day trip to Liechtenstein.

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

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
