Unfortunately no hike this month, mostly because of the heat. But my friends and I continued our walk to expore the Viennese Durchhäuser. This month we visited the Melkerhof, and also photographed some staircases in the 8th district. Some of the staircase pics were quite successful on Pixelfed, although I …

Welterbesteig part 12 (again) & Viennese Durchhäuser
Only one hike this month, and one that I already knew, unintentionally: yesterday I hiked again the Welterbesteig Wachau part 12; however, in my hiking book, the end of the hike is Oberbergern, on the contrary to the official website, where it's Unterbergern. So this time I ended the hike …

A few days before I flew to Florida I made a hike in the Bucklige Welt. It's nice and easy, but not super photogenic. However, I noticed that my M.Zuiko 8-25/4 was broken, apparently decentered. I think you can see the softness towards the left edge in this …

So I am back from Florida. I visited my cousin who is married to a retired American diplomat.
Well... I don't even know where to start. This was my first really long journey in terms of geographical distance. I was very curious about America. Actually I had planned this journey …

Sadly no hike in February, only a shooting at the Palmenhaus in Schönbrunn. The flower pics were not so successful on Pixelfed, as apparently my followers only eat landscapes, so here the most successful one:
And my favorite:
I was going to make a hike yesterday, but I caught a …

Only one hike in January, and not really a spectacular one, more like a long walk: a few days ago I travelled to Neulengbach and went up to the Buchbergwarte. Only took a few photos, there was not much to photograph. So this "hike" is better than nothing I guess …

Exactly one hike this month, but a really awesome one: I can absolutely recommend the WAB regional route L From Kalte Rinne Breiteinstein to Schloss Gloggnitz as a winter hike. It is rather long for a winter hike but actually easy. Lots of meters up- and downhill, but barely noticeable …

On the day before I travelled back from Budapest to Vienna I had slept very well and spontaneously went for another hike in Budapest. From Szépjuhászné I climbed up to the Jánoshegy, then went on to Normafa and then back through the Virágvölgy. It's an ok "metropolitan" hike, not super …
read moreHocheck & Danube Bend
Since my last post, I made three hikes, all of which during the past two weeks. It's the colorful, photogenic season again... all three hikes were actually easy, no need for putting the camera into the backpack.
The first hike was to the Hocheck from Altenmarkt an der Triesting. This …
