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
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. We’re on our way to the Wolfsburg City Museum M2K. We want to visit the exhibition “Young City in Quick Strokes: The Wolfsburg Sketches of Hans Kreuzer.” The city museum is supposed to be open today from 11 am to 6 pm – or so we thought. While I’m taking a few photos of
After all the tours I have taken in the last few years, I am always surprised that there is something new for me to discover too. Last Sunday we went to Langenstein. I couldn’t believe what there was to discover here. In addition to the cave dwellings, there is a castle and castle park, a concentration camp memorial, the Hoppelberg
This Saturday we are going to Hildesheim again. We meet at the train station, from there we go to the Gasthaus Kupferschmiede. This is where our today’s tour starts. Right at the game gate next to the restaurant we are magically captivated by the goats. The enclosure is an attraction for young families. It quickly becomes clear that the goats
On this Sunday, I had actually planned to go to the Harz mountains, but Mr. Weselsky didn’t want to go:-( So, my friends from the Harz simply came to me instead. In advance, I naturally wondered what I could offer the two experienced and spoiled hikers with a clear conscience. This consideration led me to Königslutter’s magnificent building, the Imperial
The island of La Réunion is considered a French hiking paradise in the Indian Ocean, and for good reason. “Hike till you drop” could be the motto here. With three fascinating calderas and a coastline that surrounds the island, it leaves nothing to be desired. Furthermore, La Réunion boasts the highest mountain in the Indian Ocean, Piton des Neiges. In
Champagne or sparkling water? Rain or sunshine? This year, the weather app or, more precisely, the rain radar decides where the weekend getaway is headed. With the changeable climate, it’s not easy to estimate how long the next rain gap will last. Often, the raincoat is closer than the swimsuit. So, we gather all our courage and just set off.
