Austria: Kärnten Part 3 - Goldeck

The next hike we took on the 2000m high Goldeck. We had a fantastic view of the town Spittal and the Lake of Millstatt. And the beautiful mountain scenery and the Grossglockner, which we discovered in the distance. The day was beautiful: pure sunshine and clear air, which allowed for a grand panoramic view.

Austria: Kärnten Part 2 - Raggaschlucht


The Ragga gorge is located at Austrian Mölltal and has a length of 800 m but is one of the shorter gorges in Austria. Due to its narrowness and depth of 200 m it is a popular tourist destination. It goes on wooden staircases and stairs uphill.
The water rushed to the valley with a lot of noise, injected into a large spray and dripped from the rocky walls. The vegetation is very green: ferns, mosses, orchids and other mountain plants.
On a normal trail led back the way into the valley through dense forest.

















The view is above the last waterfall.




Even the photographer had to lift heavy on the way back. :)

Austria: Kärnten Part 1 - Hike to the Tschiernok

Our summer vacation took us to the Carinthia on the lake of Millstatt. Seven days of hiking, relax, swim in the lake and trips to the mountains. On the first day we hiked to the Tschiernok (2082m). The hike took 6 hours and led us past the free-roaming cows and high above the clouds.
