Day 29 – from Rifugio Zacchi to Kranjska Gora

Well, the night was even worse than expected in the Rifugio. Three of the people sleeping in our dorm entered it rather late at 11.30 p.m. and didn’t even try to be quiet. But if we could have had at least those precious hours of sleep until morning it wouldn’t have been so bad. Continue reading “Day 29 – from Rifugio Zacchi to Kranjska Gora”

Day 25 – from Feistritz a.d. Gail to Valbruna

Today we’ll finally be hiking over the boarder to Italy. So, this would be the last day in Austria after hiking here for 24 days! All in all, I loved the Austrian part, especially the Millstätter Alpe and the Nockberge. I’m not sure whether the Italian or Slovenian part can get close to it but let’s wait and see.

Day 24 – from Warmbad Villach to Feistritz an der Gail

Tonight was not very restful because it was rather warm in the room but we couldn’t leave a window open since our accomodation was next to the railroads and a street.

Nonetheless we got up rather early to have breakfast at 7 a.m. as today’s stage would be quite long and it was going to be hot! 😰 Continue reading “Day 24 – from Warmbad Villach to Feistritz an der Gail”

Day 23 – from Faak am See to Warmbad Villach

Today we’d be hiking to Villach but first have a detour to the Baumgartner Höhe. Actually, the direct path of the AAT would lead over the Baumgartner Höhe to Kranska Gora but we decided to do the circular route, too, which means a 6-day additional hike around the Dreiländereck.  Continue reading “Day 23 – from Faak am See to Warmbad Villach”

Day 22 – from Velden to Faak am See

The night in Velden was rather fitful because there were quite some people coming late at night into the guesthouse and not caring for other people sleeping. 😒

At least breakfast was nice and more than enough with a wide range of bread. At 8.15 a.m. we started today’s stage which was said to be a rather boring one. Continue reading “Day 22 – from Velden to Faak am See”

Day 21 – from Ossiach to Velden

After breakfast we headed off again. The hotel Gasthof zur Post was really nice, spacious rooms, very friendly staff and we’ll be ever greatful for having our clothes washed. 😉

At first we had the same way like when arriving in Ossiach. It wasn’t even 8.30 a.m. and already very hot! Continue reading “Day 21 – from Ossiach to Velden”
