October 2, 2024,Pragser Wildsee - Hoch ist's wärmer als runter

The vacation was actually planned a little differently, but sometimes the weather doesn't stick to the agreement. The temperatures in Italy are colder than in Germany and the clouds hang low between the mountains.
But the weather gods left a small gap in the rain. Just right for a tour to the tourist magnet, the Pragser Wildsee.
From our accommodation …

June 17, 2026,🏞️Alpen🇩🇪🇦🇹🇮🇹🇸🇮 - Sommertour 2026 4a/17 # 30 km St. Lorenzen i. Südtirol - Toblach

Given the strenuous 🥵 tour yesterday, we spontaneously changed our plans and are staying an extra day in South Tyrol.

First, we went 30 km until just before Toblach. We already knew the "Olympia" campsite 🏕️ from two years ago, a great place and the highlight is the heated pool 🏊 which we naturally used.

Today I'm driving half-power up to Lake Braies, a little Sunday excursion. A pretty beautiful spot on earth, but also bombarded with Asian bus convoys :) and sausage in a bun for €10, that's just how it is ☺️
The twinge in my thigh still can't be gently relieved, hopefully it will still carry me over the Brenner Pass to …

June 17, 2025,Da Brunico ad un passo dal cielo su ciclabile

At times I took the panoramic variant on the way out, always very well indicated by signs and paint on the asphalt. Some stretch of beaten dirt road in the woods, pleasant. The Braies side, at 7 pm on a June evening, is sparsely populated and regains its charm. Spectacular there entrance to Brunico downhill in the two tunnels that …

September 8, 2023,Etappe 7: Reischach - Plätzwiese

The route continues through the Pustertal on quiet side streets until just before Schmieden. From Schmieden the climb to Plätzwiese begins. We initially decided on the gravel road, which was easy to drive, before continuing on to the road halfway up the climb. We then treated ourselves to the Hotel “Hohe Gaisl” on the Plätzwiese. With 3/4 board and swimming …
