September 28, 2024,Windischkrätzhöhe - Rudolfshöhe - Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade

Today I want to complete yesterday's hike as a circular hike. Right at the beginning I fall on the asphalt road and my already bruised knee is hit again. It would have been better if I had stopped the hike, but my will was stronger and so I do the circuit despite the pain with every step.

Simply enjoy the silence after the climb, the soft forest floor. New views because so much forest has been cleared, thus allowing for new perspectives.

June 2, 2024,Hardtweg in Bad Gastein, bequemer Wanderweg mit herrlichem Ausblick in die Berge & in das Tal.

The Hardtweg in Bad Gastein is a recommended hiking/walking trail from the town center over the Windischgrätzhöhe to the Waldhaus Rudolfshöhe and further towards Kötschachtal. The way back can be made via the Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade. Highly recommended!
