      Day 2 - Innsbrucker hut

      July 22 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      After getting the Elferbahn cable car up to gain 1000m, we set off.

      Only 3km to the lunch stop, a hut in a valley with a jolly waiter where we enjoyed chips, cheese dumplings, apfel strudel and some of us had beers.

      Then, the ascent began! Lots of zig-zagged paths, screes and the odd bit of snow higher up. Soundtracked by plenty of cowbells.

      The yellow sign told us we'd need 2hrs to reach the Innsbrucker Hut and it was about right, as we reached the ridge of the hill, as if out of nowhere, a hut appeared on the other side.

      I was more impressed by the double bench, one looking down to Stubaital, one to Gschnitztal.

      Checked in at 4:30 and settled in for the night!

      Evening entertainment = a game of pass the pigs, which Cihan won!

      Total distance: a humble 8km

      Stubai Valley, Austria Day 30

      May 25, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

      And the day dawned beautiful! Rain and grey clouds are gone replaced with blue skies and sunshine on the fantastic mountains! A great setting for our last day here in this quiet town with spectacular scenery.

      Off before !0 for the hike we had planned. Cable car up the mountain to the starting point. The goal was to hike to a monastery hidden in the Alps. Fun time, not a difficult hike, gravel path all the way. It is a popular trail for day hikers. Lots to see and do around the beginning as well. A slide for “kids” - that would be us. See video. Mountains all around -360. See 2nd video. Took our time, taking pictures and playing with our new app that identifies all the beautiful small Alpine flowers. Arrived at the monastery a bit after noon. Checked out the chapel, souvenir shop and lunch outside looking at the mountains. Took a different way back to the cable car and Carol found the first geocache for the trip! Very exciting. Then we had to do the slide as well. A great day in the mountains.

      Back home to relax a bit before going out to dinner. Many restaurants closed right now as they are in between seasons. Tried the Italian one on the plaza good , not great. Home to watch one more episode of The Tailor and pack.

      Off for Slovenia and Lake Bled tomorrow.      Read more

      Innsbruck to Stubai Valley Day 26

      May 21, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

      A travel day, although not far. Leaving our lovely apartment outside of Innsbruck. Packed up and out by 10A. Our final destination is only about 15 miles away in the Stubai Valley south of Innsbruck

      Spent the better part of 3 hours at Schloss Ambras, a castle overlooking Innsbruck. The castle was built in the 1500’s and was a gift from Archduke Ferdinand II to his new wife, Philippine. I sort of thought I was “done” with castles a few European trips ago however this one was different and very interesting. Ferdinand was a collector of all things art and curiosities. This claims to be the first museum in history. His collection was extensive with all kinds of lovely Renaissance pieces. Not so much art as “things”. He was clearly a lover of beauty. The museum had lots of techs films, screens to check out and terrific grounds with big trees, benches, a pond with black swans and lots of fish. We enjoyed a very good lunch there in an outdoor cafe.

      On to the Stubai Valley. A friend of Carol’s had been here which is why we chose this location for hiking. It’s only 10-15 miles south of Innsbruck so a short ride. Outrage new apartment is in the small village of Mildred, right next to Neustift which is the “big” town in the area, population ~5,000. A great accommodation again, we have really chosen well, so far. On the 2nd floor (3rd in US) but lots of room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, kitchen with dining area and 2 balconies. Beautiful views from every room and the decks. We are very happy.

      “Nested” (unpacked and figured out how everything works) and a glass of wine from our host, then out for a walk. The Stubai Valley is a wide valley about 20 miles long with the Alps rising steeply on both sides. It is spectacular! There are 30+ glaciers and 109 peaks around 9,000ft in the area. Lots of cable cars to take you up to hike at different areas. Trails everywhere. A hikers paradise. I feel “at home”. 😀. Dinner at a lovely little town square restaurant in Neustift and home for some downtime. No Netflix on TV. 😫.      Read more

      Stubai Valley, Austria Day 28

      May 23, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Plan for today was to do a hike in the valley by the river that runs through it, waterfalls, etc. however Mother Nature decided we should not do that this morning for as we got to the starting area, (about 6 miles away) it started to rain and had no signs of stopping. So back to town, to walk the small center town of Neustift, much is closed as they are between seasons and businesses are taking a vacation or are closed on Tuesdays.

      However we did check out the church which was amazing! The church is the centerpiece of the town but it was the cemetery that caught out eye. There are probably around 150-200 graves - ALL had fresh flowers, growing plants and in designed floral beds All the plots were the same size and the “headstones” were decorative metal sculptures. I have never seen anything like it. The inside of the church was just as pleasing and lovely. Spectacular ceiling, all white walls, airy and light pastel,colors. So very modern looking. Even the organ was modern. The pews were all light roughly hewn wood and the stone floor was complimentary to all. A beautiful place. The first chapel on that site was in the early 1500’s, built by Maximillian I, they have had many renovations and clearly a recent one. A great find.

      Weather starting to clear, so we had lunch the one restaurant in town that was open and decided to do,the hike we had planned for the morning. The hike was great. Not too difficult, in the valley so not too much elevation. 5 miles round trip with waterfalls everywhere and the snow covered mountains always rising above all. It is truly beautiful here. The chairs that we are sitting on is the cover photo today are on a platform the spans the river right at the big waterfall. You can lie there and enjoy the wonderful view of the waterfall with the Alps above.

      Weather started to turn while at the platform and shortly after we started back the rain returned. Needless to say we got back much faster than we did going! 😂. Cocktail hour (good German white wine) and dinner at home tonight, pasta again.      Read more

      Day 28

      Stubai Valley, Austria Day 27

      May 22, 2023 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      Out for our first hike in the Stubai Valley today. Good weather but more clouds and rain on the way the next 3 days. 😫. The coming weather influenced our decision to do the highest hike today and lower hikes in the next few days. With our apartment came a Stubai Super Card - a pass for the cable cars and other types of transportation. Really a nice perk as the cable car rides are 15-20 euros each. There is some hiking in the valley but most of the hiking is on the mountains. It is common to take a cable car up to a place on the mountain to start your hike. Which is what we did. There are 4-5 cable cars in the immediate area. Only 2 are running right now as the other 2 or 3 go higher and there is still snow up there. This area is between seasons right now - ski season is over and summer not quite here yet so they also do maintenance work on the cable cars.

      We took the Elferbahnen cable car from where we are at about 3400 ft to 5400 ft up,the mountain. Fun ride and paragliders everywhere! We walked around the area, taking in the huge wooden sundial, watched a lot of paragliders take off with their colorful chutes and raise with the air - so silent. Beautiful! Lots of trails take off from this location. We decided to take the one up to the Elferhutte, a building we could see from our restaurant at dinner last night. Quite the climb, but only about a mile. What great views and more paragliders. Took pictures, talked with some of the other people coming up the hill and walked a bit further up and then started our decent. Our quads got a real workout with the steep,part of the downhill. But we made it 👍 and we were very proud of ourselves.

      Back down the rest of the way via cable car, to the grocery store to get our provisions or this leg of the trip and home to put our feet up on our deck for awhile. And to wash out some clothes for reuse tomorrow. 😂. I went for a walk in the neighborhood before our nightly cocktail hour and pizza for dinner. Found Sky News on the TV tonight - only English speaking station I could find. No Netflix here.      Read more

      Op naar Innsbruck

      July 12 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Vandaag regent het hard dus zijn de plannen gewijzigd. We gaan shoppen in Innsbruck. Voor het eerst weer een een lange broek aan want het is niet heel erg warm.
      Voordat we naar Innsbruck reden zijn we naar een plaatselijke sportwinkel in Neustift gegaan. Daar waren we al geslaagd voor een zomerjas en een vestje.
      In de stromende regen naar Innsbruck gereden. Daar weer andere winkels ontdekt met een mooi assortiment en pap heeft een mooie winterjas gescoord. Inmiddels schijnt de zon weer en ziet de binnenstad er heel anders uit.      Read more

      Ontstaan van het wilde water

      July 14 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Op de terugrit in de gondel vanaf de gletsjer konden we mooi zien hoe het water zich een weg baant naar beneden. Beneden een stukje waterweg gelopen naar een mooi uitzicht punt waar iedereen lekker kan zitten/liggen om naar het water te kijken. Ook mooie stenen bouwwerken gezien. Het was een verrassende dag. Nu even een kopje thee met preisselberen chocolade.Read more
