Bucklige Welt, Rettenbachklamm & Lurgrotte

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 pic of Kirchschlag in der Buckligen Welt.

Meanwhile, the lens is repaired, I sent it to the official service in Portugal, it cost 218 Euros, and I got the lens back after a week. Haven't tested it yet though, 6 months of warranty for the repair. By the way, I made the hike from Kirchschlag to Krumbach, so not the official direction, I think because of the bus time tables.

A little more than a week after Florida I had to go to Graz to the Grazer Linuxtage. One day before the conference, I made a hike in the Rettenbachklamm. Well, it's marked as easy, but the part in the gorge is not quite that easy. It's a nice hike, especially considering the fact that it is, for the most part, on the terrotories of the city of Graz. The blooming trees and the spring landscape after the gorge were also nice. But not super spectacular either.

After the conference I visited the Lurgrotte, very nice:
