Raudlifjellet

Date:
16.08.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.6km

Nice small tour up Raudlifjellet (via Nordhordlandskulten) from Tømmernes -- the path is not easy to find at once, but once one has found it (also not difficult), it's nice and easy to the top(s). Some nice views towards Kalandsvatnet and towards Os. Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Raudlifjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Raudlifjellet (Sælefjellet) .

Traunstein

Date:
08.08.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
14.7km

Starting from Traunsee (~450m, southeast from Gmunden), up the Naturfreundesteig (climbing trail, category A/B), we first reached Traunsteinhaus (1575m, still quite new after a recent upgrading). It took a bit more than 2 hours, but easily this could be more, depending on the climbing conditions -- it's more than 1000m up a substantially steep climbing path! Then, we connected to Gmundner Hütte (1660m), another impressive house on top of this prominent mountain! The actual top, Traunstein (1691m) is then quite near and easy to reach. Down we took the trail towards Mair Alm, which is very steep, but good to go. All in all, including an extended break on Gmundner Hütte, this was about 6+ hours of hiking. Very rewarding!

Katrin

Date:
07.08.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.8km

Up from Bad Ischl (where the cable car starts, at 470m, via Bildweg) to Katrinalm (1413m), which is a nice, steep hike up (about 1000m up) and then -- after some nice rest with served food and drinks -- quickly up to Katrin-Kreuz (1542m) and Elferkogel (1601m). Down, then, very comfortably with the cable car. :-)

Hochleckenhaus (Höllengebirge)

Date:
06.08.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
12.2km

Starting from Taferlklaussee (763m), we first ascended to Hochleckenhaus (1574m) via a well-marked path (note: the start is somehow unclear -- mostly due to many other small trails near and around Taferlklausssee). After a nice and refreshing rest at Hochleckenhaus -- yes, with served food and drinks! :-) -- we descended towards Steinbach am Attersee (via Geissalm and Stieg -- the 2nd option for hiking to Steinbach), which offers terrific views -- not at the least to Attersee! The path down from Höllengebirge is (partially) steep and it's hundreds of meters straight down next to the path in selected places (you better are not afraid of heights there). All in all, a great hike! :-) Selected photos are available as a Google photo album .
