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

Long Day of Museums
Today was a rather untypical day for me: It was focused on tourist sights and museums. Still, I also managed to squeeze in a short hike in the morning. In the afternoon, I visited Hohenwerfen Castle. In the evening, I finally participated in the "Lange Nacht der Museen" (Long Night of Museums). Continue reading Long Day of Museums

Unfortunately no stroll
I would have liked to go on the "Pinzgauer Spaziergang" today. However, with six to six and a half hours of pure walking time, it sounded too stressful to me, as I only had about seven hours available (due to limited run times of the cablecars). So, I opted for a round trip over some mountains just above this "Pinzgauer Spaziergang" instead – and was not disappointed. Continue reading Unfortunately no stroll

Krimml Waterfalls
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. Continue reading Krimml Waterfalls

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
