Anke and I wanted to redeem our free rack-railway trip on Schneeberg. The season is going to end next week, and the weather forecast for the upcoming weekend is not overwhelming. So, today I took a day off – a right decision :) To keep it short, we had a great time on Schneeberg and […]
Ice skating
This winter is the coldest in many years. Finally, ice covers the lakes generously. Also, lake Figur offers perfect conditions, as we saw during our last walk. Some people had fun skating. Some others played hockey on the ice. Sunday we made a walk to Laxenburg Palace Gardens. I had my ice skating shoes with […]
Hiking with granny
It has been a sportive weekend. Yesterday, we were out for an 85 km bicycle ride. Today, we were hiking Rax mountain with my grandmother. It was our first hike together with granny and her first hike since long. We went up to the Rax mountain plateau by cable car. From there we continued to […]
Bicycle tour March – Danube – Leitha
We are fascinated by riding our bikes. No wonder that we made another tour this weekend. This time we started in Marchegg. For the first kilometers, we followed the river March on the Austrian side of the border. In Schlosshof, we crossed the river to the Slovakian town Devínska Nová Ves. From there, we headed […]
Bicycle round trip and Mostheuriger

Bicycle tour Triestingtal
Today’s bicycle tour started with a train ride to Leobersdorf. From there we went into Triestingtal towards Berndorf. Some kilometers ahead we made a turn towards North to go a little uphill. Around noon we reached Heiligenkreuz monastery. There we relaxed for a while in the shadow of huge plane trees. Afterward, we had a small lunch and […]
Mikulov 2/2
After a delicious breakfast, which we enjoyed in the hotel’s courtyard we rode our bikes uphill towards old town Mikulov. Due to some issues, while planning the tour with alpenvereinaktiv.com, we end up in a more and more steepening path underneath the castle ruin. This track was not suitable for us. However, it was worth pushing up […]
Mikulov 1/2
For the long weekend around August, 15th, we were going on a two-day bicycle trip with our friends. We took the train from Mödling to Hohenau/March. From there we biked along the Welschriesling Radweg to Falkenstein. The weather was ideal for biking, and the scenery magnificent. Around noon we arrived in Falkenstein. There, we enjoyed […]
Biking home from Brunn/Pitten
For today’s bike trip we went by train to Brunn/Pitten. From there, we were riding – against the wind – back home. Our tour took us on the Thermenradweg (EV9) from Brunn/Pitten via Wiener Neustadt towards Leobersdorf. There, we spontaneously changed our plans and extended our trip by taking the Triestingauradweg (EV9a). In total, we […]
Bicycle tour to Bratislava
Today morning we went by train from Mödling to Angern/March. After crossing river March with a cable ferry, we were riding our bikes towards south along the Eurovelo 13 “Iron Fence.” Just after an hour, I had a flat front wheel. We took the opportunity and grabbed a drink while fixing the tire. On our tour, […]
