Before heading home again tomorrow, I was out today for a final tour on the Muttersberg near Bludenz.
I only realized this evening after analyzing my recording that it had become the longest tour of all.
Initially, we took the cable car up to the Muttersberg. The destination was the Fraßenhütte (1725m

For me, every summer stay in the Großer Walsertal includes the delicious mountain breakfast at Alpe Steris (1440m) at the foot of the Kellaspitze (20017m), which takes place there once a week until autumn. Everything there is homemade and there is a large selection of bread, cheese, jam, ham, dairy products

Today the weather was mixed at the beginning and for a large part of my tour, but dry. Compared to the last few days, it was still very cool, which was ideal for walking. Only when riding the Uga Express was it too cold for me and I was a bit chilly.
From the mountain station, I had often walked back

After a quickly passing deterioration of the weather, it was still changeable today, not suitable for high mountain tours, but definitely for going out.
This hike can be done in any weather and also with children. There is a large parking lot at the village railway in Brand. After a short stretch towards

Even before my first Camino in Spain in 2022, I had started the Way of St. James from Vorarlberg to Einsiedeln in Switzerland and hiked a stage during each stay in the Großer Walsertal. Each time, my motivation to walk the Spanish Camino increased.
Actually, the Way of St. James begins in Innsbruck

After I had carelessly caused myself an injury to my foot and therefore could not continue my Caminho at the end of May, the frustration was great. In recent weeks, it has been difficult for me, in the truest sense of the word, to keep my feet still. After the orthopedist finally gave the green light

Lisbon had been on my list of European capitals for a long time.
Upon arrival, I initially thought the city would overwhelm me, but after settling in and getting an overview, I was able to start without aimlessly wandering through the city.
Today, this included an extensive stroll through the old town

Due to yesterday's general "holiday rush", I stayed home and did my May hike today. The weather was optimal and the air was also dry, so I rarely broke a sweat.
Since today's tour is a linear hike, I took the bus from Ernsthofen to the starting point. However, in Brandau I would have had to wait 45 minutes

Today we formed a carpool to the starting point of our hike. The start was in Böllstein, where we first learned about the geological development of the Odenwald at the large granite rock, which is also a memorial for those who fell in both world wars. We didn't get very far after that, because at the

After yesterday's strenuous tour, today's tour was more leisurely, again with my friend, who had arrived a day earlier with his dog and campervan and was already waiting for me. From the Mengel-Eppelmann winery in Elsheim, we went via the Hiwwel Zubringer through the village to the actual trail. We decided

I had originally planned about 18 km for this tour, mainly on the S3. But then it unintentionally became significantly more.
Initially, I wanted to go directly to the Rödelshäuschen without detours. However, at the starting point, I made the mistake of doubting the advice of a friendly local about the

Today I wasn't out alone again, but with my friend Dieter. Due to the currently high fuel prices, we didn't want to drive far, and besides, we hadn't been to the nearby Rhine for a long time. A change in weather was already announced for this afternoon, the beginning of which was already clearly visible

With the exception of a short section through an open meadow on the route, the wide path then continued upwards in a long, winding manner, past

Of course, I could have taken it easier today and chosen a less strenuous tour. But on the one hand, the challenge appealed to me, and on the other hand, after the long winter break, some training for my Camino in May will do me good. Anyone who knows Lindenfels knows that you either go uphill or downhill

After a week-long break due to heat, it was pleasant to walk again today and bearable even in the sunny sections thanks to the cool wind. What was noticeable, of course, is the massive dryness that can no longer be overlooked. The usually lush green is brown, the paths are dusty, the grass is prickly
