That's going to take a while.
But hopefully I'm going to be asleep in my bed on the couchette train 🛌🚄

November and December usually are the months full of doom and gloom, the valley covered by a blanket of fog, cool air trapped under the fog as the sun can't penetrate the fog to warm the air.
But not just yet.
The sun is still able to dispel the fog by mid-morning, and is able to warm up the air.

Today daughter and I participated in a sports event in one of the most beautiful areas my home state has to offer.
My daughter ran the quarter marathon, and I nordic walked the same distance.

We then returned to the valley, where we took a stroll through the #Seebachtal.

On the second day we took Europe's longest subterranous funicular to the Hochwurten artificial lake at 2235 m above sea level. From there we hiked along the slopes of skiing ressort up to the remnants of a glacier at app. 2800m, and took a cable car, and again the funicular to get back.

Husband and I spent three days in the Hohe Tauern National Park region. On our first day we hiked through the Ragga gorge.
Just a short hike, but with breathtaking views.

Anyway, on Tuesday I joined a group of pilgrims for a spiritual walk in preparation for Easter.
It felt good to be walking and to simply "be", without time constraints or appointments, for one day

I spent last weekend in Friuli, a Region in Northern Italy, with friends.
Two days full with laughter, singing, good food an wine, living my best life.

I finally managed to take husband to hot springs ressort for a prolonged weekend.
We are both desperately in need of some relaxing days, as work has been insane for many weeks with no indication of it getting any better in the foreseeable future.

This afternoon the weather was sunny, temperatures slightly above freezing point and no wind chill.
So I put on my hiking boots and walked a loop up the foothills.
Have picture of the view and the trash I collected along the way 🙄

I forgot to show you a pic from the first hike of the year. It was more of a Sunday morning walk covering app. 300 m of altitude.
As you can see, our winter is weird. It's rather cold, but next to no precipitation for weeks, and so we have no snow.

The Periadratic fault line separates the Eastern Alps from the Southern Alps, and is quite visible in the gorge I visited today.
Sadly, my phone was unable to capture the colours and bizarre stone formations in the shadows of the deep gorge. You have to take my word for it.

Today I woke up the first snow of the season, and a strapping -10°C.
Take that, vermin!
If that cold spell could last a couple of days, fewer Spanish snails would survive this winter, and I might get a chance of growing my own lettuce again next summer.

Initially my plans for today involved hiking up this mountain. While I hiked a fair bit up there last summer, I never made it to the actual summit, and wanted to rectify that before the refuge closes until winter season.
Alas, it was not to be.

Good things come to those who wait.
By the time I started my walk, the fog on "my side" of the valley started to lift, and I was able to enjoy rather pleasant weather.
One could literally watch the sun pushing the fog away ☀️☀️☀️☀️

Late-bloomer, or confused bloomer?
It definitely is the wrong season to be in bloom for both of them.

Today I left my home in the morning with my hiking boots on and a backpack, and just walked.
And walked.
In the end I walked 19km with ~ 1500m of elevation gain, which is the highest climb I've done so far.
This was the highest point of today's hike.

The stage of the opera festival is open to the public, and can be admired during a stroll along the shore.
This year they are playing "The Marksman" by Carl Maria von Weber.
Isn't that a cool stage design?
