The last two days were dedicated to Hochkönigstock and Steinernes Meer. As I was feeling a bit lazy (and it was supposed to rain in the afternoon), I opted for the more relaxed (and shorter) option of a chairlift ride, and a hike at the top on both days. This gives you more time to enjoy the views from above – you just should not forget anything in your car! Continue reading Hochkönig is king

Tor is the door to Dachstein
The weather forecast promised dry and quite sunny conditions today (but not too warm). So, it was the ideal day for hiking. I decided to take the route over the Tor (German for "door"), a picturesque pass along the South face of the Dachstein massif. Continue reading Tor is the door to Dachstein

Water of a different kind
Originally, I had planned a lazy day today, as it was supposed to rain all day. However, the rain stopped already around noon. So, there was time for a short excursion, namely to Liechtensteinklamm. Continue reading Water of a different kind

Ups and downs at Attersee
As I have already postponed my planned visit to Mondsee yesterday, I did so again today. Instead, I went to Attersee for a hike around Wachtberg – and of course some stand-up paddling on the lake. Continue reading Ups and downs at Attersee

The mountain calls, and the lake as well
My original plan for today was a visit at Mondsee. However, in the morning I felt like going on a short hiking trip before. So, I hiked to the Wartenfels ruins, Schober, and Frauenkopf. From there, I had a gorgeous view of Lake Fuschl – which is why I drove there instead of Mondsee. Continue reading The mountain calls, and the lake as well

My next vacation starts like the last one has ended: at the foot of Traunstein mountain – only this time, I was not hiking, I was stand-up paddling. Continue reading Stand-up paddling below Traunstein
