We Who Wander

Today was our rest day and we so wanted to jump into the beautiful Ossiacher See! And of course my parents, our trail angels, would come to bring the refill of our supplies!!! Continue reading “Day 20 – Rest day in Ossiach”

This night again we slept like dead. It was so quiet up here, and even the Polish kids that were obviously here on summer camp with their counselors were not to be heard after 9 p.m.

We awoke to a gorgeous view: Continue reading “Day 19 – from the Gerlitzen to Ossiach”

We slept so great this night until the church bells rang at 6 a.m. 😉 Before breakfast we did some shopping at the small supermarket of Arriach, just across our accomodation. Bananas, chocolate and crisps – all the healthy food of a long distance hiker. 😂  Continue reading “Day 18 – from Arriach to Gerlitzen”

This night we slept very good and without interruption. Breakfast was already there when we came down, and we chatted a little with Erika, our lovely landlady. When I told her I’m vegetarian she brought me her selfmade apricot jam which none of the other guests got. 😁

After filling our stomaches we packed our stuff and off we hiked into the crisp morning air. Continue reading “Day 17 – from Bad Kleinkirchheim to Arriach”

Today was the first day we had really bad weather. Shitty weather, in fact. 😢 So, for the first time we had no chance at all to stick to the way planned. But let’s start earlier… Continue reading “Day 16 – from Lärchenhütte to Bad Kleinkirchheim”

This morning I woke shortly after 6 a.m. after having slept more than 8 hours and so well!

Since we wanted to start early anyway we got up and ready. It’s gotten quite a routine packing our backpacks in the morning and thanks to our dry sack system it’s so simply and quickly done… Continue reading “Day 15 – from Erlacher Haus to Lärchenhütte”

This night we slept so good that we even awoke before the alarm clock. Breakfast was good and more than enough and soon we were on our way again. Continue reading “Day 14 – from Döbriach to the Erlacher Hütte”

Well, the night in the Alexander Hütte wasn’t quite as relaxing as we hoped. After having difficulties in the evening to find the bathroom free for cleaning the teeth and no hot water after 8 p.m. anymore we nearly were asleep when we heard strange noises.  Continue reading “Day 13 – from the Alexander Hütte to Döbriach”

After getting up earlier than the days before we had a nice, but short breakfast before we headed off again.

Thankfully, we chose the Hotel Gmeineck because this way we had a headstart of 2 km into the next stage. Continue reading “Day 12 – from Seeboden to Alexander Hütte”

Today we had planned our rest day though after the last few more relaxing tours I didn’t feel like I needed one. Anyway, it was nice taking your time at the breakfast, doing some washing and even some reading. Usually, after hiking all day and after writing the daily blog entry I’m already too tired for reading…  Continue reading “Day 11 – rest day in Seeboden”
