If we had followed the weather forecast, this last hike would never have taken place. Originally, rain and thunderstorms were predicted for the entire day. But, the weather gods were kind to us even on the last day. With our Alpbachtal Card, the ride on the Markbachjochbahn is free. So, we headed once again to Wildschönau. This time, however, we
Since the last hikes were quite strenuous, partly due to the humid and warm weather, we want to take it a bit easier today. Today’s destinations are the Kragenalm and the Kundler Klamm. But, as is often the case in the mountains, even a seemingly short distance can be more challenging than expected. Comatose on the Reflection Trail We start
On our second-to-last hiking day, we experience another tour of superlatives. We use the Schatzberg cable car for the “ascent” up the mountain. Arriving at the parking lot, we are initially confused but pleasantly surprised: parking here is free of charge. We look around several times to be sure. But there’s no sign with parking fees to be seen anywhere.
The Alpbachtal Card offers an activity for every day, ranging from various options like guided e-bike tours, sightseeing tours, or mountain hikes. We decided to join one such hike around the Gratlspitze. The tour begins at the tourist information center in Alpbach, the most beautiful village in Tyrol. And yes, the village is indeed lovely, even though, as we later
It was one of those days when the mountain called us. Fresh and full of energy, we began our ascent at the mid-station of the Wiedersbergerhornbahn. With the Alpbachtal Card, we rode up to the mid-station for free. Here, our tour began. Towering above us, the majestic Wiedersbergerhorn reached into the sky. Even in the first few steps, we could
At the beginning of my vacation, I experienced an unforgettable adventure in the Kaiserklamm, one of the most picturesque gorges in Tyrol. My goal was a hike from the historic Kaiserhaus to the Erzherzog-Johann-Klause. A route that led me not only through breathtaking natural scenery but also through the fascinating history of the region. The Start: Kaiserhaus and the Path
About half an hour into our hike, it becomes clear once again: I’m spoiled. Finding new challenges or highlights is getting harder. But surprises do come unexpectedly. So it was on our hike along the Pisserbach. Yes, that’s really its name. Historically, the stream marked the boundary between the former Duchy of Brunswick and the Kingdom of Hanover. But after
After a long time, I’m visiting Bad Harzburg again. Alongside what was supposed to be a short hike, a concert at the Bad Harzburg Stud Farm in Bündheim is on the agenda. However, we only catch the closing credits of the musical event. The original 14.9-kilometer tour extends to over 20 kilometers. And the only thing to blame for that
“Is this art or can it go?“ Somehow everyone has heard this (joking) question before. How and when exactly this statement originated is not known. But most often the unintentional destruction of two artworks by the artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) is cited as its origin. However, it was news to me until last Saturday that this expression is also associated
The Isenhagen Monastery on the outskirts of Hankensbüttel is one of the six heath monasteries. As we participate in a guided tour on this Sunday, it quickly becomes clear: this will be a tour of a special kind. This is undoubtedly due to the monastery resident who, as she herself says, enjoys provoking. I cannot remember having experienced such an
