To Croz dell’Altissimo

The trip for this year was to visit just a tiny part of the South Tyrol, but I am already looking forward for a new trip there, maybe next year. I was hoping for better weather, but the weather was a bit unforgivable, lots of rain for the entire trip.

The first day, we have planned to go hiking next to Molveno, found a wonderful hike that promised seeing so many peaks and enjoying nature.

Once we go there by car, which was very late, we decided that we will try to hike all the way to Cima Croz dell’Altissimo and then decide if we can go further. First part was to reach Gradecia (some spot on the path of an altitude of around 1600m), the hike started steep through the forest, then with a nice view and many beautiful alpine flowers.

We get to Gradecia, then we follow the path, and at some point, I checked the navigation, and I thought we took the wrong path, we go back for a bit just to come back on the same way.

After that we reach another point on the hiking path called Palon de Tovre (1811 m), as we ascended further by climbing rocks, we had a wonderful view of the mountains and the beautiful lake.

Then comes the snow, and the worst part many crevices, followed by a darker sky and rain coming our way. So, we stopped, had a very short break and decided to go back.

Even though we didn’t reach Cima Croz dell’Altissimo, the hike there was wonderful.

Maybe next time the weather will be nicer and I will spend more days hiking and exploring.

On the way back I quickly photographed this beautiful castle.

A walk close to Rein Abbey, Austria

The trip this time was a small walk in the forest next to Rein Abbey, Steiermark, Austria. Rein Abbey is a wonderful Cistercian monastery founded in the 12 th century. If you hike in the forest next to this beautiful abbey, you will find one smaller church on the top of the hill and a chapel. There, we had a nice photo shooting for some LARP costume. I would say the place was just perfect to fulfil the purpose of our trip. On the way back we were greeted by more snow and a lovely afternoon light filling the forest.

Wasserweg (the water path) in Liebenfels - part II

This blog post is about the second half of the Wasserweg. You can read the first part and check out the beautiful pictures here . During the first hike, we did not manage to finish the entire hike. Hiking with older people means sometimes slowing down, taking more breaks and enjoying nature around you. Although, there is the possibility to drive somewhere to where the half hike would start, this time we did the entire thing in one walk. The path continues next to the stream until you reach a bigger waterfall. If you are lucky, you might have the waterfall all by yourself and not have to wait to take photos of this wonderful place. After the waterfall, the path continues until the next village, where you can stop and have a snack. We didn’t really go until this restaurant or hut but instead stopped once we came out of the forest and just enjoyed the view and tried to pet a little pony. He did not seem impressed and wanted no pets, unfortunately. Overall, I find this h...

Felsenmeer

A truly magnificent sight, lots of huge rocks in a valley, is befitting the name of sea of rocks (aka Felsenmeer in German). After we moved to Darmstadt, I tried to find the most interesting areas to visit around, and Felsenmeer was one of those places. How exactly this sea of rocks formed I am not certain, but it seems a process that took many years. The area now is quite popular, people often trying to either climb up or down the rocks. We went down, and although it can be fun jumping from one rock to another, it can also be dangerous. Felsenmeer We did a round hike (11 km) around the area, where we saw many horses, and sheep, beautiful flowers, lots of stones, passed a tower called Owl Tower but did not see any owls.....passed a pond.....and had a lovely hike through the forest. Although the Felsenmeer was quite busy with people, the rest of the hike was nice and quiet. Owl tower Find the frog
