    Trekking to Fritz-Pflaum huette, Wilder Kaiser day 5

    We wake up early in the morning, and after finishing all the food we had heft we say goodbye from Strisenjochhaus for a while, and we start down towards the parking place. After two days with a lot of climbing our bodies which are used to 20-30m walls ask for a break, so that we’re…

  • Via Classica from Fleischbank, Wilder Kaiser, day 6

    Via Classica from Fleischbank, Wilder Kaiser, day 6

    This was the day when Mihaela was completely conviced that we’re going to spend a day and a night on the route, the we’re going to spend ages getting down from the mountain and other doomsday scenarios. At the same time in the previous days I saw that if we set our minds to it…

  • Trading Wilder Kaiser for the Marmarole

    Trading Wilder Kaiser for the Marmarole

    After almost a week in Wilder Kaiser, we feel the need to change the mountain and to diversify our activities. Even though we wanted to see Dachstein, in the end the call of the Dolomites is stronger, and so after a morning swim at the foot of Wilder Kaiser we drive the 250 kilometers which…

  • 3 days, 3 routes, and almost 300 kilometers through Thuringia

    3 days, 3 routes, and almost 300 kilometers through Thuringia

    It’s really interesting that there are a lot of smaller mountain chains in Germany which are named after forests. Among them is also the “Thuringian forest”, and after traveling 80 kilometers on the main ridge of the mountain we kind of understood where the name comes from. The mountain chain is almost completely covered by…

  • 3 zile, 3 piste, si aproape 300 de kilometri prin Turingia

    3 zile, 3 piste, si aproape 300 de kilometri prin Turingia

    Din nou de la Mihaela citire jurnalul unei ture cicloturistice prin zone inca neexplorate de noi: Sambata, pe cand conduceam noi linistiti pe “autostrada lor nationala” (Bundesautobahn) A9 spre sudul Germaniei (un fel de DN1 la noi), auzim la radio cum moderatorul unui matinal, in loc sa fie plin de energie, cade in butoiul cu…

  • Orasele hansei, si din nou o noapte sub stele.

    Orasele hansei, si din nou o noapte sub stele.

    Din nou Mihaela a scris un jurnal mai mult decat bine documentat si detaliat, astfel incat dupa weekend-ul trecut cand am scris independent 2 jurnale ce au iesit extrem de asemanatoare, am zis sa nu mai dulblam si de data aceasta efortul. Totusi un pic de exercitiu la scris nu strica niciodata, astfel incat am…
