Immer nur ein Leben ausleben ist irgendwie eintönig. Neben dem Business-Alltag hätte ich gern ein Van-Life mit Outdoor-Action, dazu das Talent eines Musikers und die Akrobatik eines Zirkusartisten. Außerdem Austausch mit tollen Menschen und nebenbei viel Ruhe, garniert mit einer Couch in Reichweite. Mehr von allem und bunt durchmischt, das ist mein Anspruch. Zum Glück…

…then one Friday afternoon… Another weekend brings sun and warmth, at least during daytime. No wonder that Hector talks me into another trip towards the Alps, this time even abroad. We detect Camping Steinplatte, a likely campsite with premium lavatories and relaxed atmosphere. Caused by maximum spontaneity, I have left a couple of things behind.…

Sometimes the few-lines-tour-description does not come close to the sensation along the way. What sounds like a medium tour for a relaxed Saturday turns out a 3-peak-cross-over-hike. Unsurprisingly, Gunther is the hiking buddy of the day – whenever he joins, unforeseen summits (such as Ochsensitz or Ziegelspitze) come along. Fortunately, I am not easy to…

Days get blurry and it is hard to tell what distinguished Monday from Tuesday. At least, I know how to create an outstanding Saturday and throw my touring skis into the car. Apart from zoom meetings, online yoga and virtual ukulele sessions, it is fantastic to feel real snow flakes on my face. Who cares…

Months of the strangest year did not stop my yearning for travels. Real travels, with different places to go und foreign people to meet. Yet, I am lucky to live in a region that attracts tourists for one or another reason, and I take advantage of it as much as possible. Of course, you could…

2020 modern times come with neither party nor concert, no random encounter nor further excitement – hence, best practice is to find attractive destinations during weekends. With the warm sun laughing at November bias, today’s target is the Brünnstein. Barbara joins and proudly presents her brand new via ferrata equipment: harness, loops, carbines and helmet.…

Based on my general interest in science, I am curious what will happen when inviting a Flachlandtiroler (hiking rookie from low-level-areas) to a hiking tour in the Alps. At the edge of the Alps, to be more precise. My favourite hiking book “Zeit zum Wandern – Chiemgau” offers a blue tour with a real summit…

Another Sunday enfolds with rays of sun and distant mountain silhouettes. Being blessed with quite some hike-able friends, all I have to do is place my cup of coffee in Sabine’s car and get moved towards Benediktbeuern. Destination of the day is the Rabenkopf, situated at the edge of the Bavarian Alps, 1.555m high. Forest…

Rain and cold frame the last September weekend, but still Sunday enfolds with blue skies and sun – at least close to the Alps. Consequently, I have chosen another peak for today. With only 2°C and the utmost flexibility, I skip the foreseen trail from the North side and instead approach the Wendelstein from the…

Oh tempting are the mountains… Another bright-sun-on-a-weekend occasion comes along, and not before long I find myself (again) heading towards the Alps. Barbara joins me today and brings in a charming tour, a chamois in disguise and good mood. Region of the day is Karwendel with the typical rough and rocky appearance. I suspect that…
