The Cuillin Hills are considered to be one of the most spectacular mountain regions in the United Kingdom. Because despite their rather low heights, the pointed peaks definitely deserve the designation “mountains”. Most of the peaks can even be reached only by very experienced mountaineers. Thankfully, there are also a few low-level hiking routes for “normal” hikers like me. I chose one of those for today: Coire Lagan. Continue reading Coire Lagan and the Tourist Fairy Pools

Quintessentially Scottish?
I spent the last two days on the Isle of Arran. This island is often referred to as “Scotland in miniature”. I do not know Scotland well enough to be able to reliably confirm that – but it is certainly a picturesque island. Continue reading Quintessentially Scottish?

Walking through hell
As hiking around Los Gigantes is not that easy (as already explained in the last blog entry), I took the bus towards the South today. I decided to explore a very popular canyon: Barranco del Infierno. Continue reading Walking through hell

Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!
Today is my first “true” vacation day, and I said farewell to Las Palmas. After picking up my rental car, I made my way into the island’s interior, where I will spend the next few days. Mostly, I am planning to go hiking – because this area of Gran Canaria has lots to offer in this regard! Continue reading Into the mountains of Gran Canaria!

A Log(ar)ical vacation end
On my last “true” vacation day, I just had to go out into nature again. I chose the Logar Valley, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in the country. Given my small sample size, I cannot confirm that with certainty – but I can say that it is very picturesque indeed. Continue reading A Log(ar)ical vacation end

Off to Bohinj!
I spent the last two days in an accommodation near Lake Bohinj. Since this region was so beautiful, I limited myself to exploring the immediate surroundings. Why seek far afield when waterfall, lake and gorge are all within walking distance? Continue reading Off to Bohinj!

From waterdrip to waterfall
Today was dedicated to the Kozjak river. My first accommodation in Slovenia is on the way up to the mountain where the river originates. So, I was able to hike to a waterfall both in the upper reaches of the river, and a little further down. Continue reading From waterdrip to waterfall

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

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.
