Today we finally made it! It has always been my wish to hike this mountain. Starting at around 7.30, hiking the Naturfreundesteig trail, we’ve been up around 1 (we are not really experienced hikers ), having one break (see picture below!). After a good break for lunch and coffee we hiked down the (easier) trail via Mair Alm.

After all, for the last 30 minutes walking back to our car we experienced a thunderstorm and got pretty soaked. My hiking boots did not really turn out as waterproof . It is a wonderful hike but take into account it is one of the most dangerous mountains to climb in Austria.

As promised, I took my camera with me this morning when I went for sports to Lullwater Park. Enjoy the pictures!

Everyday life is coming up! This morning I was running for about an hour in Lullwater Park around Candler Lake which is next to my apartment. We started at 7.30am, before sunrise. It’s really amazing there – I’ve to take some pictures the next time.

Afterwards, I enjoyed delicious breakfast and read the newspaper – The New York Times. I life a wonderful life here

Today, we finally cycled from Passau to Linz. We planned it for a long time, but every time something has cropped up. Elli and I took the train REX 1728 at 07:12am from Linz to Passau. We arrived back in Linz at about 6pm. The tour was about 100km. Cycling time was about 5 hours – we did a lot breaks for lunch, ice-cream and cake. It was a nice trip! Here are the pictures!

Last Saturday we cycled (nearly) around Lake Neusiedl. We took the train from Vienna South Train Station to Neusiedl am See, where we started our bike tour. In Illmitz we had a break for lunch. Afterwards we took the ferry to Mörbisch am See. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily. So we stopped cycling already in Purbach and took the train for the last kilometers.

The tour was like this: Neusiedl am See -> Weiden am See -> Podersdorf am See -> Illmitz -> Mörbisch am See (by ferry) -> Rust -> Oggau am Neusiedlersee -> Donnerskirchen -> Purbach am Neusiedlersee -> Neusiedl am See (by train)
