Yesterday: mountain hike'n'run through 🧊 & ❄️ to the Krummbachstein, 1,602 m. With fantastic views of the neighboring Rax and Schneeberg mountains. Very cool: it's only an hour's train ride from Vienna, and you can actually start and finish right on the platform. 21 km with 1,250 m elevation gain at -2 °C.

I am standing on a rocky, snow-covered ridge with a beautiful green summit cross. In the background is the snow-covered summit of the Schneeberg, 2,076 m high. Bright blue sky.A narrow mountain path winds its way through a narrow rocky gorge.A long, deep rocky gorge. The narrow path is completely frozen over.Screenshot of the map with the recorded tour. The summit is circled in red. The neighboring peaks of Rax and Schneeberg are also marked.

Including a mountain hut with vibes!

A large, old mountain hut on the Rax plateau in the Eastern Alps. It was here that Dr. Sigmund Freud once found important inspiration for the development of his psychoanalysis. A path leads in a curve to the building, covered in drifting snow. Behind it is a summit with a summit cross. White-dusted coniferous trees. Blue morning sky with a few veil clouds.View from a via ferrata looking down into a valley. In the middle of the coniferous forest, a snow-covered clearing with a tiny mountain hut. You can see our tracks in the snow from when we passed by.Three people on snowshoes hike energetically across a snow-covered mountain range toward a ridge. In the valley, a vast sea of fog. Blue sky and bright sunshine.Three people are standing at the edge of a snow-covered mountain range. They look down into the valley and put on warmer jackets. In the valley, there is an endless sea of fog. The low sun casts beautiful shadows and a warm light, while the rest of the scene appears rather bluish and cold.

I survived my very first tour!!! I planned a fairly challenging hike that is currently impossible to complete without snowshoes. And I wanted to avoid heavy touring skis and ski boots for once. It was great!
(Details in alt text 4)

Three people are out snowshoeing. They are wearing winter clothing, carrying backpacks, and holding poles in their hands. They are climbing a slope, and one of them is taking a photo. The sky is blue, and the sun is just peeking over the hill. This creates a beautiful effect of light and shadow on the slope. The shaded areas appear bluish; it is simply a very beautiful light and atmosphere.A wide, snow-covered mountain plateau at an altitude of almost 2,000 meters. In the foreground, a trail marker in the snow has snow crystals gathered on it like a flag by the night wind: horizontal stripes, about 15 cm long, looking almost like feathers strung together. In the blurred background, a huge sea of fog can be seen in the valley. Bright blue sky, sun.At an altitude of almost 2,000 meters, a 400-meter-high rock face. The evening sun bathes it in red. In the valley, a sea of fog that seems to be lifting slightly. A bright blue evening sky, beautiful.Screenshot of the recorded tour. What is already a long, demanding hike in summer feels like a grueling expedition through the eternal ice in fresh snow and on snowshoes. Due to the short days, we treated ourselves to the luxury of taking Austria's oldest cable car up to an altitude of 1,500 meters early in the morning. From there, the trail leads relatively flat to a viewpoint overlooking an impressive gorge and the surrounding mountains. Then down through paths in the forest, and steeply up again through an awe-inspiring high rock face. Over a ridge, the trail continues south for a longer stretch, then down a steeper mountain path to a mountain hut that is always closed in winter. From there, a very pleasant but also challenging path leads down into the valley, about 1,600 meters down. At dusk, we had to hurry to catch the very last bus that took us to the more distant train station. It was close! And what an adventure!

Yesterday, in the at approx. 2,000 m, with 1,600 m EG. In , it was foggy and cold, but on the , there was a bright blue sky with no wind and temperatures between 8 and 12°C. Not a soul in sight, wonderful silence. At the , it was so overwhelmingly beautiful that it took the greatest willpower to leave at all. Descent in the dark, on a steep snowy and icy path. With good crampons, of course.

Snowshoe tracks on a snow-covered mountain plateau. In the background, the neighboring mountain, Schneealpe. Bright blue sky. View down onto a snow-covered hill. On top of it stands a large mountain hut, the Habsburghaus. In the background is the neighboring mountain, the Schneealpe. In the distance are many more Alpine peaks. Blue sky.On the left side of the picture is the western edge of the Rax. There is a direct connection to the neighboring Schneealpe via a ridge. Blue sky.View from a snow-covered path back to the Habsburghaus mountain hut. The sunset bathes it and the surrounding rocks in reddish light. In the distance, bluish fog lies over the valley, above which the haze shows a color gradient from reddish to yellowish and to the light blue of the evening sky.

last Friday: Hike'n'Run over the , with great views of & , with 1,300 m EG. Partly through 20-50 cm deep snow. 1h steep descent through the dark forest – not ideal if you don't have a headlamp with you. The best thing about the tour: easily accessible from , and the start/finish is right on the train platform!

During the ascent, you have a beautiful view of the Rax massif, 2,007 m. There is snow at the top. Blue sky.View of the valley and neighboring mountains. Blue sky, some haze in the distance.The path splits in a snow-covered gorge: continue up to the left. To the right, a kind of slide made of tree trunks runs alongside the path. This was used in the past to transport felled timber down to the valley. Blue sky.An alpine hut at dusk, the half moon shining. Snow everywhere, but grass peeking through. Mountains in the distance.

2 days ago, I escaped the fog in . In the Alps, the sky was bright blue. I climbed the very exposed Haid-Steig with 420 m EG. The start is at 1,400 m. Towards the end, it became dangerous in an unsecured passage without any handholds; one slip and I would have been in the valley faster than I would have liked. The most interesting passage led through a long, deep crack. In the first picture, you can see a 15-m ladder leading there.

A rock face, about 50 meters high. In the middle, a deep crack. At the bottom, a yellowish traverse, from which a 15-meter ladder leads up to the crack. Bright blue sky.Exit on a mountain plateau at 1,800 meters. On the right side, a sea of green bushes. Otherwise, lots of snow and rocks. In the background, a high, wide rock face.On a rocky outcrop, a dark brown chamois peeks out at me from behind a tree, looking somehow very sweet. More mountains in the background. Blue sky, but slightly hazy in the evening sun.Looking back at the 420-meter-high rock face with the via ferrata in the evening light. Down in the valley, an endless sea of clouds. Bright blue sky, the moon has risen.

Zur Entspannung ein #Gleitschirm Foto aus der #Steiermark. Der Kollege hat das #Mürztal entlang Richtung #Stuhleck , #Rax und #Schneealpe gefilmt. Unter ihm sind die #Windräder vom #Windpark #Stanglalm und vom Windpark #Hochpürschtling . Der Schirm in der linken oberen Ecke wurde von mir pilotiert. Die #Wolken waren ungefähr auf 2500 Meter über dem #Meer . War ein echt #schönerTag zum #Paragleiten heuer Ende April.

4/4 Hike & Run in the mountains in

On the descent into the valley, I saw a Spanish flag / Jersey tiger (Euplagia quadripunctaria)! It is poisonous to birds, and when threatened, it shows it with its colorful hind wings.

The finale: swimming in an old-fashioned outdoor pool from 1928!

Macro shot of a Spanish flag butterfly. It is sitting on the branch of a green-leaved plant. Typically, you can see mainly the black and white front wings and a red stripe from the rear wings.Due to the proximity of the camera, the butterfly now shows its distinctive hind wings. On the upper side, they are bright red with large black spots. The body is orange-yellow, as are the edges and undersides of the wings. The unusual coloration is intended to signal to birds: “I am poisonous!”The beautiful entrance area of an old outdoor swimming pool from 1928. It is surrounded by mountains. Blue sky and a few clouds.View over the sparkling blue swimming pool. Behind it, many old trees, a steep meadow slope and forest, and the rock faces of the Rax (1,500 to 2,000 m high).

Hike & Run last weekend at an altitude of 2,000 m. 3/4

A large mountain hut sits enthroned on a hilltop. The slopes are rocky, but also covered with thick grass and low mountain pines. The sky clouds over, but the blue still shimmers through.On an old wooden table stands a glass of apple juice and a small plate with chocolate zucchini cake. Out of focus in the background is a view of the surrounding mountains. Through the closing cloud cover, a light show of sunbeams appears.Looking back at the mountain hut, which is now about 100 m below. The sun's rays create a beautiful light through the broken cloud cover. The grass in the foreground shimmers golden yellow, the low mountain pines glow green in the backlight. In the background, a wild scene of mountain peaks.At dusk, four chamois stand on a rocky ledge and look at me. They don't seem particularly skittish, but decide to move on anyway. In the background, you can see more hills stretching out in a row.

Hike & Run last weekend at an altitude of 2,000 m. 2/4

A rock face several hundred meters high, heavily rugged. At the top, an inclined plateau. A path winds its way up there, surrounded by rocks, grass, and low mountain pines. More mountains in the background. Blue sky with a few clouds.A narrow path crosses a rock face. In some places, a wire rope is stretched across for safety (via ferrata). In the distance, there is a plateau with a mountain hut.A narrow path crosses a rock face.Looking back at the entire traverse of the rock face. In the foreground, green-yellowish shimmering grass and flowers. Blue sky, but clouds are gathering above the plateau. In the distance on the left, a mountain hut sits enthroned on a hilltop.

Hike & Run last weekend at an altitude of 2,000 m. Sleeping outdoors at 15°C is definitely more pleasant than summer in the big city! 1/4

Sunrise in the mountains, currently at around 5:30 a.m. A blanket of fog hangs over the valley. The sun is visible at the same height as the summit of the Schneeberg, 2,079 m. The layer around it is reddish. Above it is the pale blue morning sky.
