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 […]

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 […]

Biking home from Brunn/Pitten

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, […]

First, we spent two nights in Triest, and after that, we had a short hiking tour in the Carnic Alps close to Plöcken Pass. Concerning Trieste. I […]
