5. November 2025     One day before my departure, I got really nervous. It was about the PAP — the Protected Area Permit for Nagaland. The information online first suggested that you don’t need one — and the websites presenting this looked quite trustworthy.       But my local contact was certain that … Continue reading Nagaland – The PAP-Drama → Read more

3. November 2025     My head is full of information and buzzing!   I’m traveling for five weeks to a region of India I’ve never been to before. Usually, you can easily distinguish India’s regions by their individual states and talk about each of them separately — they’re mostly quite distinct units. Not so … Continue reading Northeast India – before the trip → Read more

15. September 2025     8,3 km 0 m up 1.370 m down 3:45 hrs.   The first time I was actually faster than Mapy! How could that be??? But first things first: First waking up and looking outside: fog. Breakfast outdoors: fog. Almost done with breakfast: movement in the fog. And – hooray — then … Continue reading Sillianer Hütte -> Sillian train station – the Knees are singing a Song to the Tighs → Read more

14. September 2025     8,8 km 585 m up 435 m down 3:50 hrs.   That didn’t sound like all that much, so I took my time in the morning. It was still overcast and didn’t look as great as I had hoped. First, a little more picture-taking at the lake, while the others … Continue reading Obstanserseehütte -> Sillianer Hütte – An Angel in form of a Trailrunner → Read more

13. September 2025     6,2 km 670 m up 710 m down 4:20 hrs.   When you bring your own breakfast, it usually means sitting outside—especially if you’re making your own coffee. But here it was so chilly that I didn’t think it would be much fun. So we struck a deal: I’d buy … Continue reading Filmoorhütte -> Obstanserseehütte – No Water falls out of grey Clouds → Read more

12. September 2025     6,4 km 640 m up 230 m down 3:20 hrs. In the morning, I once again congratulated myself on my decision to bring my own breakfast.

11. September 2025     9,2 km 595 m up 80 m down 3:20 hrs.According to Mapy I had enough time to reach my destination of the day. And – yeah – the weather was indeed dry! That way, Lienz looked a little nicer right away. I continued my journey calmly, taking the train to … Continue reading Lienz -> Obertilliach -> Porzehütte – it goes up → Read more

10. September 2025     I started out by train for my overnight stay in Lienz. I was very, very glad that I had planned it that way. It rained heavily all day. And since I really dislike hiking in the mountains when it’s raining, wandering through the town was a much better alternative. On … Continue reading Lienz – Sun City, rainy → Read more

9. September 2025     For certain reasons, I have to be out of my flat for 5 days. And for quite some time I was struggling with the question of what I could do during that period. My desire for hut-to-hut hiking tours in the Alps had faded a bit. Visiting my friends in … Continue reading Boderhike Austria-Italy – Tour Introduction → Read more
