#Hikes

At the start of May 2024 we travelled to the Achensee by train and bus for some hiking days. Sadly, my girlfriend fell ill on the day after arrival, so the hiking part of this holiday was cut massively.
Instead I had some time to enjoy the steam train ride from Jenbach to the lake.

Around Easter 2024 I visited my parents and took them and my sister on a hike.

The Menzenschwander Geißenpfad trail led us past several old Black Forest farms. We enjoyed the views and fantastic perspectives opened up onto the surrounding valleys and the village. Even the highest peak of the Black Forest (Feldberg) and its tower could be seen. The sound of goat bells accompanied us on our way.

Duration: 3.5 hours (including smaller pauses)
Length: 11 km
Elevation: 880 m to 1055 m
Ascent/Descent: 315 m ↑ and 315 m ↓

After our crossing of the Alps ended in September 2023 we didn't went home immediately, but had some relaxing days off in the Ötztal.
On the final day we had some energy left for one last hike this holiday. Starting point was in Obergurgl at the end of the valley via Langtalereckhütte, Langtal, Piccard bridge and Ramolweg back to Obergurgl. The next day we headed back to Germany in the way we started our adventure approximately two weeks before: by bus and train.

Duration: 7 hours (including lunch break and three smaller pauses)
Length: 18 km
Elevation: 1892 m to 2688 m
Ascent/Descent: 1111 m ↑ and 1111 m ↓

All things must come to an end and so did our crossing of the Alps in 2023 with stage 11. On our way from Talschlusshütte to Dreizinnenhütte we didn't talk much as we soaked it all in and were both lost in thought about the past few days. Once we were getting closer to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo it got more and more crowded and we were a bit overwhelmed. After a pause at the hut - much longer than we anticipated, because it was so full - we left for the last part and the final destination. We crossed the imaginary finish line at Rifugio Auronzo and were received by our beloved ones.

It's been our greatest adventure yet and we absorbed so many unforgettable impressions.
Thank you for taking part in this little throwback over the last few weeks!

Duration: 5 hours (including various breaks)
Length: 9.5 km

Remember my post about day seven of our crossing of the Alps? Turns out, I probably became infected on Lienzer Hütte. My body temperature rose during the evening and I had to leave dinner early to change to an empty basement room at Sillianer Hütte. The night was hellish with little sleep. I felt a bit better the next morning, but still pretty weak. Fortunately, nearly all we had to do on stage 10 was descending to Italy during another warm day until we reached the Talschlusshütte in Fischlein valley at the edge of the Sexten Dolomites and I finally could recover a bit. Some wistfulness settled in this evening as the penultimate day of this amazing journey came to an end.

Duration: 5 hours and 45 minutes (including various breaks)
Length: 13 km
Elevation: 1330 m to 2447 m
Ascent/Descent: 230 m ↑ and 1150 m ↓

Here is a friendly reminder to condition your boots and shoes for the and

Ninth day of our crossing of the Alps and simultaneously the start of a little extension to the classical Berchtesgaden-Lienz route: From Sillian the only way was up till we reached Sillianer Hütte, which is situated exactly at the Austrian-Italian border. At the beginning we followed a forestry track. After we worked through roughly two thirds of this day's march we had lunch at Leckfeldalm where we were belted by many cows. There was also a change in scenery at Leckfeldalm. We left the woods behind us and continued on gravel through an area more open and rocky than before. We had some leisure time at the hut before I felt something happening in my body...but more on that next week when it's time for another ThrowbackThursday post.

Duration: 4 hours (excluding breaks)
Length: 8.5 km
Elevation: 1075 m to 2447 m
Ascent/Descent: 1372 m ↑ and 0 m ↓

In this picture many cut down trees and stumps in the woods can be seen. I walk with trekking poles on a badly visible hiking path through the wide and open area. Some trees at the edge of the area are also infested by bark beetles. The sky is clear blue. It's a hot day.My girlfriend walks on a  hiking path which leads out of the forest. My patches of sunlight fall through the trees on the ground.Uncounted cows chill on a meadow in front of dark trees.A short pause halfway between start and finish: Sillian and the eastern part of Puster Valley down below.
