After two days of rain on the first two days of my holidays, it was finally dry (even though still cloudy) today. So, I took the opportunity to go hiking at Gosau Lakes (and later at Altaussee). Continue reading Ready, Set, Go(sau Lakes)!

All across the world
Between autumn 2016 and autumn 2019, I was criss-crossing the globe on my travels: China, the United States, Ecuador, South Africa, Lesotho, and Vietnam were all on my itinerary.

Garden Route and Wild Coast
As I only had time for some of the highlights during my first visit to South Africa in 2018, I explored some other parts of the country in fall 2019, namely the Garden Route and the Wild Coast.

Pristine Nature’s Valley
Today, I had to plan around some rain showers again. So, I spent a time window of about five hours which was expected to be (mostly) dry in the beautiful Nature’s Valley. Continue reading Pristine Nature’s Valley

Knysna, or: Thank God for the wrong weather forecast
One advantage of the Garden Route is that everything is quite close together. However, in case of bad weather, this is also a disadvantage: You are likely to have bad weather everywhere.

Wet in Wilderness
Considering the fact that it was raining quite a lot while I was in Wilderness, I was quite lucky with the weather, as I even caught a bit of sun. Still, I was not able to do everything on my agenda due to the inclement weather. Continue reading Wet in Wilderness

Just over a year after my first trip to South Africa, I am visiting the country again. This time, the focus is on the Garden Route and the Wild Coast. Today, however, I started with the so-called Whale Coast to the South-East of Cape Town. Continue reading Whale Wind ahead!

Autumn around Vienna
Luckily, autumn in (and around) Vienna is not only dominated by the fog: Today, it was sunny almost all day – especially on the Rax, one of the mountains close to Vienna. Continue reading Autumn around Vienna
