Nicht mal mehr eine Woche, bis wir endlich wieder “on trail” sind. Wir können es kaum mehr erwarten, der stickigen Stadt den Rücken zuzuwenden und frische Berg- und Waldluft zu riechen und an Seen entlangzuwandern…
Der Countdown läuft… und wie glücklich man über einen Göffel sein kann ;-)
[English below]
Ein bißchen mehr als eine Woche trennt uns jetzt von unserem nächsten Weitwanderweg, dem Berge-Seen-Trail.
Die Vorbereitungen sind dieses Jahr um vieles einfacher als beim AAT, zumal wir unsere Ausrüstung bereits gekauft und erprobt haben. Natürlich wird es beim Gewand einige Abweichungen zu unserer Packliste vom letzten Jahr geben, da wir im September schon mit kühlerem Wetter rechnen müssen. D.h. statt mehr Kurzarm- werden es Langarmshirts, statt einer ärmellosen Weste wird es eine flauschig-leichte Wollweste (auch wieder von unserer Lieblings-Merinowoll-Marke Dilling)…

Soon off to new adventures!
Another hiking adventure is yet to begin! The BergeSeen-Trail in the Austrian Salzkammergut just awaits us to explore its vast region with so many beautiful lakes, gorgeous mountains, awesome landscape and famous towns…
We will walk alongside Wolfgangsee, Attersee, Traunsee, Grundlsee etc., we will visit Bad Ischl, Hallstatt, Bad Aussee and many other scenic towns, and we will look down from the top of the mountains.
Be part of it – start: September 2018!
(Please note: our blog for the BergeSeen-Trail will start in German, this time, but we will translate every post either immediately or as soon as possible. Leave us a message on our Contact form so that we know that you’re interested in the translation – and we will hurry to do it. 🙂 )
Two days of Trieste
22nd August:
So, finally the last morning of Muggia has broken. We got all our stuff packed once more and had one last coffee in Muggia before we headed off to our ferry to Trieste (needless to say that we took icecream with us 😉).
The day after – Muggia
After so many days of getting up before 7 a.m. and sometimes way earlier to hit the trail as soon as possible we wanted to sleep in. There weren’t even church bells in the morning. And still, we woke before 7 and finally got up at 7.11. Old habits die hard. 😉 Continue reading “The day after – Muggia”
Day 45 – from Bagnoli della Rosandra to Muggia
So this is it. This is finally the last day of us hiking the Alpe Adria Trail. It’s the first long distance hike we’ve done. We’ve been on hiking holidays very often but always with one fine hotel as “base camp” and then doing some daily hikes. I’ve never thought that we won’t make it, I just took one day at a time. And so, after 44 days we now were right before finishing our first thru-hike. Continue reading “Day 45 – from Bagnoli della Rosandra to Muggia”
Day 44 – from Lipica to Bagnoli della Rosandra
Since a very mean mosquito (it was obviously very hungry! 😬) shared our room sleep was rather fitful tonight although it was so very quiet here. Continue reading “Day 44 – from Lipica to Bagnoli della Rosandra”
Day 43 – from Prosecco to Lipica
Tonight we woke to some enormous thunderstorms and heavy rain and I ran to close the window. The wind was blowing very strongly and it took some time to fall asleep again. Otherwise Luciano’s apartment would have been perfectly quiet. 😉  Continue reading “Day 43 – from Prosecco to Lipica”
Day 42 – from Duino to Prosecco
The night in the Villa Rilke was way too hot and the air condition (or whatever they called air condition) wasn’t helping at all so we didn’t sleep well. Since breakfast was only at 8 a.m. and we woke much earlier due to the noise from the highway not very far away we had too much time to kill. 😒 Continue reading “Day 42 – from Duino to Prosecco”
Day 41 – from Gradisca d’Isonzo to Duino
Today we’d be having the longest of all stages on the AAT – this in the hottest day we’ve had so far in this altitude. It’s one thing when you hike at 1500m or higher with 35°C somewhere down below, but then it’s totally different when you’re at sea level in the South. So we had quite some respect of this day… Continue reading “Day 41 – from Gradisca d’Isonzo to Duino”
