Lake Dobbiaco in autumn mood
Autumn is the most beautiful coloured smile of the year”. ~Willy Meurer We have already reported here several times about Dobbiaco and Lake Dobbiaco. But we have never presented it to you in these colours. Autumn and its smile have arrived and it is simply fascinating how the splendour of colour is reflected in the […]
Stress-free in the mountains
When you stand on the mountain, at the very top, take a deep breath and look out into the almost infinite expanse, the stress really falls off you and a feeling of awe and humility spreads. The mountains are simply good for you! Researchers have now also found this out, as we recently read in […]
With the mountain bike to the Passo del Madriccio
The Passo del Madriccio connects Sulden and the Martell Valley and is known as the ultimate challenge for mountain bikers. In glorious September weather, I set out on the route, which really demanded a lot of me. Not only because of the technical demands of the route, there were also more than 3,000 metres of […]

Play of colours on the Seikofel
The Seikofel is not only a beautiful destination for a tour – whether on foot or by mountain bike. The Seikofel is also a retreat for the capercaillie and other game species. And it offers a great view of the mountain panorama. I wish you a good start into the new week!

Sunset at the Hochgruben
I really like being on the road alone with my bike. But what I like even more are the tours with my son. I’ve already told you about one of our trips here. Today I brought you a few impressions from our weekend together. We were out and about in the Carnic Alps. We enjoyed […]
Homemade “Schlutzer” at the Hut Lärchenhütte
Click on the photo! You can hardly enjoy Schlutzkrapfen, or “Schlutzer” as they are called here in South Tyrol, with a better view, can you? As you can easily see, I was on my mountain bike again. I stopped off at the Tschutschenthaler family’s traditional mountain hut, the Lärchenhütte. It is located in the middle […]
Follow the call of the Three Peaks
Last week the mountain – or rather the Three Peaks – called me. And I followed this call once again with my mountain bike. Even though the Three Peaks are practically on my doorstep, they are always fascinating and I always discover new views and details. So, in glorious mountain-biking weather, I set off for […]
