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. We had booked the Douglasshütte, located right at the top station of the gondola to Lünersee, with the idea that it might … Continue reading Lindauer Hütte -> Douglasshütte – Keeping Switzerland to the left → Read more

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. This time, I had brought my own muesli and Nescafé (with an Esbit stove) for each morning, and I was really glad to be able to sit … Continue reading Heinrich-Hüter-Hütte -> Lindauer Hütte – The tree is wrong → Read more

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

6. July 2025     4,4 km 0 m up 740 m down 2 hrs. In the morning, the sun was smiling down at us once again – as so often – but we could already sense the heavy clouds lurking behind it and mentally prepared ourselves to take the bus down. Besides, we felt … Continue reading Glorer Hütte -> Kals – Byebyepoor Arms → Read more

5. July 2025     3,4 km 195 m up 190 m down 1:30 hrs.   As Mapy said — and we already knew — it’s an extremely short stage. But you can always extend it with some extra trails around the hut, or just hang out inside if it’s raining, or whatever else you … Continue reading Salmhütte -> Glorer Hütte – Fairyrelaxed Feet → Read more

4. July 2025     4,8 km 630 m up 235 m down 3:10 hrs. It doesn’t sound like much, but it was a bit different. We’d actually booked a hut that was farther away, but we still had one day to fill — and somehow there wasn’t really a good option for where to … Continue reading Lucknerhütte -> Salmhütte – Tendertrembling Knees → Read more
