21. August 2025     4,6 km 430 m up 80 m down 2:10 hrs. Mapy says this about today. The weather forecast predicted heavy, continuous rain, later even with thunderstorms. That’s why we had chosen this short tour and hoped that the hut we couldn’t reach by phone would still have space for us. … Continue reading Vodnikov Dom -> Koca na Dolicu – After the rain come wonder and comfort → Read more

20. August 2025     8,1 km 585 m up 100 m down 3:15 hrs. This is, what Mapy says to the actual hiking day.. We first drove to Rudno Polje. A few kilometers before reaching it, we already saw enthusiastic people on roller skis.

18. + 19. August 2025     It’s really amazing how close Slovenia is! Hardly had we crossed the Austrian border, we were already at our destination—at least in terms of kilometers. In reality, though, we were stuck in traffic. And we later learned: there’s always traffic there. And it’s really bad. Apparently, the town … Continue reading Bled – Petty, expensive and full of No-Gos → Read more

14. + 15. August 2025     The morning at Lake Lünersee was quite lovely. I had my last muesli with coffee, a young man was wiping the tables, and it was fairly quiet. Then off I went for a short walk to the dam wall.           Then the sun crawled … Continue reading Rätikon – Second helping without cream → Read more

17. August 2025   In 2021 I hiked the Panorama Trail of the Southern Alps. Along the way, I spent one night in Slovenia—here in this hut. Other than that, I’d say I don’t really know much about Slovenia. But back then I really liked the more relaxed way the hut and the guests were … Continue reading Slovenia – Before the Trip → Read more

13. August 2025     11 km 730 m up 490 m down 4:50 hrs.   The last day of our hut-to-hut trek had dawned, and this is what Mapy predicted for us.

12. August 2025     5,7 km 585 m up 585 m down 4 hrs. Karla’s knee had recovered quite well, and she felt fit enough to do a day hike up to the Drusator. These are the data Mapy provides for it. For me, it was very enjoyable because we got back into my … Continue reading Drusator – Nice here, but have you ever been in Herz Jesu? → Read more

11. August 2025     12,1 km 590 m up 600 m down 4:45 hrs. This is Mapy’s summary of our hiking day. It began in the morning.

10. August 2025     9,1 km 320 m up 530 m down 3:30 hrs. According to Mapy, this is the route we walked on the first day. However, the report actually has to start with the previous day—the journey there. That was special in the sense that I set off, wove my way through excursion … Continue reading Schattenlagant -> Heinrich Hüter Hütte – The 12th woman* could also be a man* → Read more

8. August 2025       In 2022, I went hiking with Karla in the Verwall mountains. It was great. This year, we’re heading out together again – this time to the Rätikon, which borders the Verwall to the west. Back then, we had fantastic weather. It would be lovely if it turned out the … Continue reading Rätikon – Tour Introduction → Read more
