I wanted an easy walk through blooming meadows - we went straight into summer after long winter so everything is bursting with colors. And I got a meadow alright - that’s a wish fulfilled but that was it 😉 It was a tour full of surprises and we loved it!!! Original plan was to hike... Continue Reading →
St. Barbara Chapel above Garda Lake, 14.4.2018
A must do when staying in Riva del Garda! The view is super rewarding 😍 Somehow I was expecting an easy walk and it surely isn’t - well, up to Bastion it’s fairly easy although from the very beginning the road goes undoubtedly up, very much up. From Bastion forward it’s no longer a road... Continue Reading →
Partnachklamm winter magic, 4.3.2018
I have seen multiple winter pictures of Partnachklamm and it always looked fantastic so since weeks I was after finally seeing it with my own eyes and last Sunday it was so far: we drove to GaPa, with a stroke of luck found a spot at overfilled Olympia-Skistadion parking and even managed to buy a...

From Pflegersee to St. Martinshütte, 18.2.2018
It was a beautiful winter wonderland in Munich but I was fixated on the idea of having lunch in the mountains so we drove to GaPa - and thanks to no great weather (I assume), there was no Stau on the way there - first time ever! At first we were disappointed as it looked... Continue Reading →

Turns out it's a very popular skitour route - good to... Continue Reading →
Winter Wonderland above Schliersee, 21.1.2018
Last weekend in Munich was fairly grey and I longed for real winter so I googled “winter hike” and off we drove to Hausham! I don’t think we actually walked the exact route I found but it was nevertheless fantastic and I got what I wanted: a true Winter Wonderland at Huberspitz - quite a... Continue Reading →
Wendelstein : up with a cable car and down on foot
We wanted to hike Wendelstein since couple of weeks already and it looked we'll manage it finally on Saturday 4.11 but I was feeling weak and lazy so in the end, we left home late and it would be a struggle to hike the peak in time to catch the last cable car down. So,... Continue Reading →
Kaiserschmarrn at Carl von Stahl Haus (1.736m) aka How to hike above Königsee and successfully avoid seeing the apparently stunning lake even once!
I was in Inzell for work reasons, the weather was fantastic so I thought: why not stay till Saturday and have a great hike somewhere! And if already there, why not go to Königsee which is just 50min away and beautiful like no other. So, geplant gemacht and off we went, arriving at Hinterbrand parking... Continue Reading →
