The Night of Open Churches offers a whole lot of program and the opportunity to look into churches that you haven't looked into before.
We walk into the city center and get stuck at the campfire. Here we sing songs by Hannes Wader, learn that someone is making coffee and can't keep up with Hit the Road

Hillclimb in Eichenbühl. The small village becomes the center of the hillclimb world once a year. However, racing is not the Komoot discipline, but rather concerns motorsport.
I pack the junior in and we drive to Eichenbühl for the second time. On the way from the parking lot, we already find it strangely

The Hochrhöner. So the extra tour. I've had this on my bucket list for a long time and today it fits well.
We start at the Schornhecke parking lot. Lots of space and nicely hidden behind the trees, so you no longer see the cars while hiking. We walk counter-clockwise. This way we are at the Thüringer

Monte Kaolino. A sand dune, a good 100 meters above the surrounding area, waste from mining. The whole thing is now designed as a leisure facility. Segway, outdoor pool, summer skiing, Zipfelbob, archery course, mini golf and above all a summer toboggan run. For the latter, the junior and I buy a 6-ride

Yesterday heavy rain and after breakfast too. On the way to the parking garage rain and again when leaving. In between, we explored the old town of Pilsen.
We start with a part of the park that surrounds the old town, which was probably prettied up a few years ago when Pilsen was the European Capital

Brno (Brünn) is not only the second largest Czech city, but it is also conveniently located on the way from Vienna to Pilsen. We had planned other stops, but the weather app says it will rain there until we arrive.
We soon realize that Brno was a good choice. Quite quickly, we stumble upon a small, fine

So, the route is obviously not correct, because we took a piece by subway.
We start in Schönbrunn, can't be helped.
We are not entirely alone here, but in the photos it would look like Photoshop.
We only explored a small part of the park, but we've already covered a good 4km.
It's crazy how extensive it

Today the big city tour. We start with the Naschmarkt. A gauntlet through hosts of sellers of baklava and candied fruits. Only moderately enjoyable.
Afterwards, we pass what feels like all of Vienna's historical buildings, one more magnificent than the other. "Go big or go home" was probably the motto

After the Viennese police collected the money for dessert on the way there (a bit too quickly), it's now time for dinner after the delicious pizza.
There's still time for an evening stroll, so we pass St. Charles Church, listen at the adjacent building to the final rehearsals of The Four Seasons (which

Krems. Lies wonderfully on the way to Vienna.
We make a stop and, in the metropolis of the Wachau apricot, must of course eat an apricot dumpling.
Afterwards, we visit the town church, a real highlight.

We start today at the 🅿️ near the church in Glöckelberg. Not much is left of the place, and the church and cemetery have also been elaborately restored.
We follow the Schwarzenberg Canal, which, over a length of more than 40 km, once enabled timber transport to Vienna by bypassing the Danube/Elbe watershed

Family reunion in Budweis. We are picking up our daughter, who is arriving from Krakow via Interrail.
But first, we'll explore the city. We park near the train station and walk towards the center, the streets become more beautiful with every corner. The market square is a real eye-catcher with very beautifully

Surprise tour on Sunday. Friends still owed a birthday gift from a long-forgotten birthday (we are already closer to the next one) and so we were packed up in the morning with an uncertain destination. We were only allowed to get out again in Mespelbrunn.
We follow the Räuberweg (Robber's Trail) and repeatedly
