Zauberhafte Wanderwelt
Klaussee im Ahrntal, Südtirol, in 2162 m Höhe
The Crooked River curves thru a portion of Oregon's spectacular Smith Rock State Park as seen from the Misery Trail (not really all that bad).
One of my favorite hikes.
Friday's here! Enjoy a wonderful day and weekend!
We met these sheep on a mountain ridge on about 2100m a.s.l. Spending winter down in the valley must feel so boring in contrast to this life!
One of the craziest and yet surreal experiences of my life was taking this tour onto a massive glacier on the Icefields Parkway in Canada. The colors, textures, and surroundings were off the charts. You can't imagine how slippery it is to even take one step.
This was what my granddaughter, Ada was looking for, that she could dip a stick she carrying into it.:-))
Syracusa/Siracusa, Sicily
I started in the morning, but it was long and hot throughout the day.
I don't usually make such big mistakes, but this time I ran out of water. That was why I had to turn around and walk back....
But, this path along the coast was lush, wild and beautiful
- so I want to go back some day. Then I want to walk much further and bring enough water with me 😊
Hiking at Kerlingarfjöll is a rewarding experience. We got lost for the first time hiking, away from the planned trial, reached to glacier direction, the strong wind and cold weather almost killed us although I wore snow pants and thin down jacket. Here are some tips for hikers at Kerlingarfjöll:
-Research and Plan: research the trails, weather conditions, and any potential hazards in the area.
-Check Weather Conditions: Icelandic weather can be unpredictable. Be prepared for sudden changes in weather and pack appropriate clothing and gear.
-Carry Essential Gear: a sturdy backpack, hiking boots, extra clothing layers, GPS device, food and water.
-Stay on Marked Trails: Stick to marked trails and avoid venturing off into unmarked areas, as it can be easy to get lost in the wilderness.
-Be Mindful of Wildlife: While wildlife encounters are rare in Kerlingarfjöll. Respect the natural habitat and keep a safe distance from any animals you may encounter.
Hiking in Kerlingarfjöll offers a combination of geothermal wonders, colorful landscapes, remote wilderness, and stunning views, making it a special and memorable experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
Have a wonderful weekend my Flicker friends!
I was returning from my hike through the Alps when the weather started to change rapidly, clouds closing in and rain falling. I was glad to be on my way down. Nonetheless I took a quick picture of this lovely autumn scene.
The Olfen quarry near Beerfelden is a small red sand quarry that was closed in 1975. Since part of its inventory is still in place, the quarry is operated as an open-air museum.
We took a shorter hike along part of the Ice Age Trail today. It just dipped into the 30’s for the first time a few nights ago and we’re loving that the mosquitoes are finally gone! The smell of decaying leaves and pine was incredible on this hike, as were the golden colors.
We hiked at Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, Arizona last week. The park is in the Superstition Mountains which have long been rumored to have rich veins of gold. Some beautiful views and even a few wildflowers.

The weather forecast almost prevented us from going but we took the chance and were rewarded with this. Colorado, USA
This is an old photo I took at Zion National Park in Utah several years ago. I found this while cleaning up some old photo files, and figured I post this since I have not yet posted this particular image. Angels Landing is the peak in the center of the photo. This image was taken from Observation Point, at the end of a beautiful hike that is one of my favorites.
