Lattermaißberg from Wiener Hütte

Date:
16.07.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.1km

We wished to do a short, relaxed walk. Given the very warm weather, a walk in the forest seemed just right! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Visiting the caves of Barać

Date:
09.07.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
1.0km

As a nice early evening program, we made a detour to see the caves of Barać. After parking at the parking lot, we walked into the "cave area" and got thoroughly impressed by the amount of effort that someone had put into setting up everything and making the whole area nice! :-) Since none else was about to take a tour, we eventually, after a bit of waiting, got a tour of the upper cave just for the four of us -- that was nice (we were told that at other times, some groups would be as large as 50, which clearly sounded too large for this cave). Our tour guide showed us around in the cave and gave us ample time to shoot our photos (since photographing was only allowed without flash, it usually took a few tries before one photo came out reasonably). After visiting the cave, we returned >>>

Date:

Characteristic:

Duration:

Given the warm day, we made a short excursion to Kotlac near Slunj to cool down (a little) in the lovely Korana river. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Exploring the city center of Sopron

Date:
05.07.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
2.7km

We had some spare time in Sopron, Hungary, which we used to walk around the historic center of the town. This brought us by mighty city walls, long out of their original use, the central square, as well as some unexpected sights (such as Fekete Elefánt cégér). Visiting Sopron can be recommended, even though making many height meters is difficult there! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Morning walk in Odense

Date:
30.05.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
9.1km

I was up early and had time to walk from downtown Odense to the University ( SDU , i.e., Syddansk Universitet). Starting from the main railway station, I first headed to Kongens Have, where I passed by Odense Slot. I then turned left to pass by H.C. Andersens Hus, before thereafter heading down to Odense Å at Brogade. From there, I basically followed the course of Odense Å upstream, passing through Eventyrhaven and then Munke Mose. Following Odense Å further upstream, I headed towards the Zoo of Odense. When I came to Erik Bøghs Sti, I followed it up to Langelinie. This street then brought me to Læssøgade, which I crossed to continue along Kaalundsvej. Via Skovgyden, I got to Hjallesevej, which I walked southwards only a short stretch to get into Bjørnemosevej. Walking then more or >>>

Kletten from Strandvik

Date:
18.05.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:30h
Distance:
2.2km

The evening was nice and with plenty of daylight still to use it was just fine with a short round up to Kletten before calling it a day. :-) The plan was to approach Kletten from the east (from Strandvik) and doing so was (almost) straight-forward. Only once, at the very end of Strandvikvegen at house 529, a bit of back-tracking was needed to reconnect with the trail (that is starting a bit further north). Then, instead of going up to Kletten at once, I first surrounded Kletten via Klettaltanen in its south, before eventually ascending to Kletten (then from its west). After crossing over Kletten, I then descended northwards to Strandvikvegen, which I then followed back to Strandvik. Quite nice that one can see Melderskin and Englafjellet from Kletten! :-) Selected photos are available >>>
