Nice family meeting at Peilstein

Date:
03.03.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
3.0km

To celebrate a nice, round birthday, we gathered for a larger family meeting at Peilstein. After driving all the way up to Holzschlag, the walk up to Peilstein was short and easy (but still very nice!). Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Longer walk to Rohrhaus and back

Date:
27.12.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
15.0km

On this day, we thought that it was a nice idea to make an excursion to the Lainzer Tiergarten on the other side of the Wien-valley. We first headed towards Dehnepark, then down to Linzer Straße. After walking down Bergmillergasse for a short stretch, we used Brauhausbrücke to get over the Wien stream towards the other side. There, it was then only a few meters to get to Nikolaitor (and through it into Lainzer Tiergarten). Once in the park, we first passed by Nikolaikapelle, reading a bit about its very long history! Then, we started walking uphill along the Hackenbergweg (into the direction of Hagenberg). After visiting Hagenberg, just briefly, we continued, heading for a nice pace called Wiener Blick (for its nice view across Wien, of course). We then continued to Rohrhaus, before >>>

Excursion to Heuberg

Date:
25.12.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
10.4km

I wished to get some fresh air and so headed out for a walk. First, I headed towards Steinhof, walking across the green area towards the old fire station in the north of Steinhof. I then continued "in parallel" to Savoyenstraße, passing by the Schloss at Wilheminenberg soon after. Turning left, a bit further down, again, I stepped down Eselstiege (into the direction of Heuberg). On the other side, I followed two streets to get up to Röntgengasse. Walking up Röntgengasse, I got back into the forest (in the southeast of Heuberg). Following some minor trails, I quickly made it up "to the top" of Heuberg. From Heuberg, I then walked along the heights to Jubiläumswarte. From there, I "improvised" through Gemeindewald to get back. Crossing Loiblstraße in >>>

Round via Satzberg and Jubiläumswarte

Date:
22.12.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.3km

We wanted to get some fresh air and thus headed towards Dehnepark, first. After briefly walking upwards "in the bottom" of Dehnepark, passing by the little lake (on its western side), we crossed over Rosentalgasse to start an ascent towards Satzberg. A bit further up, we also crossed Steinböckengasse. From there, it was then basically further northwards to get all the way up to Satzberg. While one can enjoy some nice views across Wien from the ascent, the actual top of Satzberg is not exciting (and also without views, due to all the trees). From Satzberg, we then transitioned over to Jubiläumswarte (in the north, northeast of Satzberg). Then, it was mostly to walk back, first towards Steinhof.

Großglockner from Ködnitztal

Date:
17.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
12:00h
Distance:
15.8km

We started from Lucknerhaus, where a nice guy drove us up to Lucknerhuette (in order to give us an easy start into this hike)! From Lucknerhuette, we did a relaxed walk up to the Fanatscharte (and Stuedlhuette, there). On Stuedlhuette, we met our guide (from the Kalser Bergfuehrer) and discussed the weather (it really did not look promising, both in terms of rain/snow and also wind). After some thinking, we decided to still make an attempt, at least up to Adlersruhe (and Erzherzog-Johann-Huette, there). We started (into the freezing rain) and followed the "Normalweg", which leads around Schere, first, before then ascending on the upper-left side of Koednitzkees, before crossing over (to the east), leaving the glacier there, and continuing as a moderately easy climibing stretch >>>

Hiking up Teischnitztal

Date:
16.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.6km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer houses at the upper end of Kals am Grossglockner and headed for Teischnitztal from there. After only a few minutes, one connects to the road that leads further to Moaalm. Instead of following this road for long, we turned right just before crossing Teischnitzbach, and took a forrest road that winds upwards at the slopes of Tschenglkopf. When stepping out of the forrest at about 2100m sea-level, a dramatic canyon opens in front, leading to the upper parts of Teischnitztal. We continued on the forrest road also through this canyon until the place, where the valley opens up at the end of the canyon (there is also a small bridge that connects to the other, western side of this valley from there). Just before getting to this bridge, actually, we turned >>>

Boeses Weibl from Lucknerhaus

Date:
15.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
15.4km

We started from Lucknerhaus and went first via Nigglalm to Oberfigeralm. From there, we continued into the valley of the Peischlachbach, heading for Peischlachtörl at 2484m. There, we turned right (into southern direction) and started the actual ascent to the Boeses Weibl. The ridge leads up to the Tschadinsattel, from which it only is several minutes to the top of the Boeses Weibl. Unfortunately, we could not reach the top, while the weather was still OK---so we had to imagine the great views from the top of this mountain. We then descended along the same route until we came to a place (on the ridge), where a path to the west, towards Tschadinalm, separates (at about 2760m sea-level). We then continued towards Tschadinalm (at about 2325m sea-level), before turning right again and connecting >>>

Greibühel-Figerhorn-Tschenglopf

Date:
14.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
12.4km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer houses a bit above Kals am Grossglockner. We first followed the road towards Kals a bit (to the place called Burg). Right before the bridge over Burgerbach, we turned left and followed a forrest road, leading into the valley of Burgerbach. Only a bit into this direction, the path turns right and crosses Burgerbach---from there on, it leads upwards towards Geierspitz (2102m). From there, the path extends over nice mountain meadows towards Greibühel (2247m). This place offers wonderful views, especially towards south, across Ködnitzvalley and towards Schönleitenspitze, etc. At this place, we split into two parties, of which one continued along this meadow-path, descending towards Lucknerhaus in Ködnitztal. The other two of us continued towards >>>

Dorfertal next Kals am Grossglockner

Date:
13.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
6.9km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer region above Kals am Grossglockner and walked directly into the Daberklamm from there. This narrow canyon is interesting to visit and from an observation platform, one has great views into the canyon. Soon after, we reached the beautiful Dorfertal, which extends far north from there and offers wonderful hiking opportunities (easy and demanding). We went a little into Dorfertal, reaching Bergeralm, where we turned around. On our way back, we decided to follow the old connection of Dorfertal with Kals, crossing over Moaalm. Also from there, one enjoys very nice views, both into Dorfertal and over Kals. From there, it was then a quick and easy descent back to the Spöttling-Taurer area. All in all, this hike was mostly relaxing and easy---in the beautiful >>>

Blauspitze near Kals am Grossglockner

Date:
12.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
17.0km

We started from Spöttling-Taurer in the upper end of Kals am Grossglockner, crossed over the Kalserbach there to the western side of the valley, and ascended from there along the Mitterbach-valley towards Kereralm. From there, we continued upwards towards the Hohes Tor. At about 2000m sea-level, we ended up in a thunderstorm and started to feel somewhat uneasy, exposing us too much to the bad weather. We therefore turned around and descended, again, following a forrest road southwards from Kereralm (at about 1800m sea-level). We connected to the place, where a lift comes up from Grossdorf, connecting to Ganotzalm, further up. We continued on the forrest road, which leads up to the hut Glocknerblick on about 1950m sea-level. There, we had a nice rest and filled up some energy (unfortunately, >>>
