Rax above the clouds

Date:
20.11.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
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. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Höllenstein

Date:
29.10.2005
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
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

Date:
26.10.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
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 .

Hvar cycling, day 2

Date:
15.07.2005
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
28.4km

After one (very nice!) day of in and around Sveta Nedjelja, including a visit to the impressive caves, high about the village, we got back onto our bikes. The plan had been made already in Split, when we informed ourselves about cycling on Hvar, and received a map, which very clearly described a round, continuing from Sveta Nedjelja along the southern shore of island Hvar further towards the west, all the way to the settlement of Hvar. After some short investigation, also asking some locals, it quickly became clear that there was absolutely no way to continue cycling into the given direction (there simply was no road at all, not even a gravel road). Thus, we had no other choice than to go back the way which he had taken to Sveta Nedjelja two days ago, including the tunnel! We quickly got >>>

Hvar cycling, day 1

Date:
13.07.2005
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
28.9km

We had taken the ferry from Split to Starigrad on Hvar (just taking our bikes with us) and the first thing we did on Hvar was to actually visit Starigrad, not far from where the ferry stops. Starigrad has a nice harbor and and old town which is clearly worth a visit! In Split, we had informed ourselves about biking opportunities on Hvar and we were motivated by a map that outlined a nice biking path around the island. Accordingly, it was our plan to follow this route and thus we started from Starigrad, heading eastwards. The map told that there should be a nice connection to the east a bit north of the main road. Finding this connection, we had to understand that it was not, as assumed, a paved road, but a "gravel" road with all-too-large rocks all over the path, making it almost >>>

From Schafberg down to St. Wolfgang

Date:
06.07.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
10.5km

We first took the mountain rail up to the top of Schafberg with the plan to walk down from there to St. Wolfgang. From the top, we then descended first towards the nearby Himmelspforte (in northwestern direction). There, we then started the real descent, which indeed is quite steep on the northern side of Schafberg, at least in the beginning. We followed the Himmelspfortenweg downwards, passing by Suissensee, and rounding another ridge to get to Mittersee, a nice little lake underneath the majestic Schafberg. From there, we continued further along this path, getting very close to Mönichsee, before we eventually got (back) to the southwestern side of Schafberg, heading down towards St. Wolfgang. We quickly arrived at the Auerriesenweg, which we then followed down until we basically were >>>

From Weissenbach to the Haleswiessee and back

Date:
04.07.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
6.2km

We started from the Waldsiedlung in Weissenbach am Attersee and ascended on the southern side of the valley until we came to an intermediate height, almost meeting Loidlbach, which nearby takes a turn to the left and towards the Burgaubach further down (west of Weissenbach). Instead of continuing further up to one of the nearby mountains, we instead crossed a saddle to get further towards Haleswiessee, a nice little lake, surrounded by the mountains around it. We enjoyed some time up there, before we returned, basically along the same path that we had taken up first. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Kleiner Schoberstein from Weissenbach

Date:
02.07.2005
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
4.4km

We started from Weissenbach am Attersee and ascended via the western ridge of the Höllengebirge up to Schober (Kleiner Schoberstein). Clearly, this is a nice (and not so long) hill-walk for those, who are enjoying some good time at lake Attersee! See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Höllengebirge with Alberfeldkogel

Date:
27.06.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
5.1km

We took the car to Ebensee at the lake Traunsee and then the cable car, which swiftly lifted us up to Feuerkogel 1575mosl! From there, we first walked "along the edge" (Höllengebirge falls off quite steeply in northern direction there, offering amazing views of the beautiful Salzkammergut, in particular with Traunsee etc.). This way, we made it to Alberfeldkogel, from which we enjoyed a wonderful view (mostly in northern direction). The weather was just so and so and due to the height it clearly was not very warm. We then made a round back to the cable car, hiking a little more "inlands". It was fun to also explore the still remaining patches of old snow (in end of June!).

Steinwandklamm and Rudolf Decker Steig

Date:
15.05.2005
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
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 >>>
