Winter excursion to Höllenstein

Dato:
25.12.2006
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,7km

This time, we started from Rohrberg and headed eastwards towards Höllensteinberg. In nice winter weather, we ascended to the heights around J.-Schöffel-Hütte and continued via Kreuzsattel towards Höllensteinberg. Instead of directly ascending to its top right away, we first surrounded it and got up to the top from the east. We then continued in western direction, making use of some simple sledges that we had brought along (this turned out to be way more dangerous than anticipated, due to the steep descent from Höllenstein!). After having returned to Kreuzsattel, we followed the Nordalpenweg down into the direction of Sittendorf/Wildegg. Once we were down to the Sparbach, we crossed it and ascended again (via Hausberg) into order to get over and back to Rohrberg. See also the related >>>

Cycling between Triesting and Piesting

Dato:
06.07.2006
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
47,1km

We started this bike trip near Medauhof, between Ödlitz and Berndorf. From there, we first descended towards Pottenstein an der Triesting, where we changed over to the other side of the valley. From there, we entered the long and nice Grabenweg-valley, which leads up to the saddle Am Hals at its very end. Mostly, this road is leading gently upwards, but at its very end, it becomes a little steeper and a nice challenge for cyclists, not talking here about challenges, which aggressive drivers occasionally impose on those on two wheels! On the other side of the saddle, we clearly enjoyed a longer and faster descent into the valley, which brings on out to Perniz. There, we basically turned left (into eastern direction) and followed the Piesting for quite a while on its way out of the mountains. >>>

Rax above the clouds

Dato:
20.11.2005
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
4,8km

We took the cable car from Hirschwang, west of Reichenau, to get up to Rax. While the approach to the cable car was gray, wet, and cold, we really appreciated being lifted above the clouds by the cable car! Nice! :-) Above the clouds and above the tree line, we hiked across the heights of Rax to get to Ottohaus and Jakobskogel. There, we enjoyed amazing views from the upper edge of the high cliffs of Rax, overlooking an ocean of clouds beneath us. After enjoying several hours on the sunny heights, while we knew that the day in the plains was way less pleasant, we eventually returned to the cable car and back down to our car.

Höllenstein

Dato:
29.10.2005
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
6,8km

We started near Sittendorf (on Wildeggerstrasse) and started with an ascent into northwestern direction, passing by Alleeberg in the beginning. We then connected to the Mödlinger Rundwanderweg (via some nice heights), before we ascended to the Höllenstein as the top-goal of this day. From there, we first followed the path back which we had taken there, until we met the Nordalpenweg, which we then took down to get back to where we had started.

Across the Ebenwaldhoehe to Schwarzwaldeck

Dato:
26.10.2005
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
4,7km

On this autumn day, we decided to make a hike in the height. From Kleinzell, we took the road up to Ebenwald, where we started our hike already above 1000mosl. Most of the hike was then pretty much on the same height until we arrived at Schwarzwaldeck at 1077mosl. From there, we then descended comparably steeply until we arrived at a place serving food and drinks, right next to the road. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Steinwandklamm and Rudolf Decker Steig

Dato:
15.05.2005
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
2,6km

We took the car via Weissenbach an der Triesting and Schromenau into the Ruschhofbach-valley and in there to the very end of the road, where one can enter the impressive Steinwandklamm at its lowest point. We then stepped through the wild gorge until we came to the point, where the Rudolf Decker Steig leaves to the left. In order to follow this quite wild track, one needs to choose between to ladders to start with. If you are afraid of heights, then likely it is better to continue through the gorge and ascend to the top from further behind. The higher of these two ladders brings on up to a point in the cliff wall, where one enters a cave in the rock, through which the track continues. Following more ladders, stairs, and caves (among them the Türkenloch), one eventually gets out of the gorge and to >>>

Visiting Die Wüste Mannersdorf

Dato:
03.04.2005
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
4,4km

We took the car to the northwestern edge of Leithagebirge, between Mannersdorf and Hof am Leithaberge, where one find the entry point for the Wüste , a nice place to visit, in particular also with kids. We first walked into the area along the Arbach, finding the alley, which leads up to St. Anna in der Wüste, previously a monestary. After some good time there, we continued (again along the Arbach) to a point, from which we then ascended to Schlossberg with its impressive Ruine Scharfeneck on top. After exploring these ruins, we continued along the height in southern direction, before we turned right (back towards St. Anna). On the way back, we also came by the Joachim Eremitage. Eventually, we returned to the car, passing by St. Anna in der Wüste once again. This place, Die Wüste Mannersdorf , really is recommended >>>

Dato:
16.08.1996
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:

Since I had made it already to Wachau on the day before, the remaining stretch to Wien was quite doable on this day (altogether about 120km along the Donau-river). In total, from Wien to Salzburg and back, this summed up to more than 800km on the bike and about 37h of biking, excluding breaks, etc. More details about the entire bike-trip are available via a separate web page . Route details about four longer bike rides in/near the Alps are summarized on a separate web page . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
