WILDURB AFTER WORK WALK  - vol. 01

8/5/2015

On Monday I made an effort to join the very first AFTER WORK WALK, organized by Wildurb that great company/community I already told you about on this blog. It was a great little event, hosted by Bella, a passionate "URB" who guided us - more or less  along the "Stadtwanderweg" through the Prater Allee... 

To me, still a newbie to Vienna, this was an amazing insight in how green Vienna is just a few steps away from the very busy, and not so attractive Prater Stern. It was great to see that  "URBS" who joined the event on Facebook, did turn up in "reality" as well. Although we'll have to work on those numbers. It was 17 "going" - at the actual event we were 7 walkers... joined by Nicolas - a "WALK IN" - who happily joined our little walking community along the way... 

If anyone out there is interested in the "Walking topic" - and I guess you would be, why would you read this otherwise - I'd suggest you like them on facebook here to join the community and be up to date with their work... and walks :-)

I'll be definitely trying to join the next Event again!

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE...

A daytrip to the Traunstein

The Traunstein is the highest mountain on the east bank of the Traunsee in the district of Gmunden in the Salzkammergut.  The height above Sealevel is 1691 metres high.  It looks a little bit like a boulder in the landscape and with its distinctive silhouette the Traunstein  is visible from a great distance, sometimes with clear view, we can see it from home. 

To my family it is a bit of a "Hausberg", the "backyard mountain". We still have just over an hour drive to get there, but it probably is the closest "real" mountain - meaning a bit of experience and practise would not hurt to make yourself on the journey to climb it. 

My brothers started a bit of a tradition in walking up this hill every year at the end of the hiking season - usually on the "All Saints"-Day, 1st of November. This year after a long time overseas I was part of it and LOVED it - I nearly forgot over the years what it means to hike up a "real mountain", and it felt good - although it was very exhausting as well. 

But what a great feeling when reaching the top. Full of Happiness, and being quite content with the decision of returning home.

    I am a walker. In 2003 an 800 kilometer journey on foot made me realize how far I can get with "simply walking". 
    In 2013 I finished a 100 kilometers trailwalker challenge within 35 hours. It was for a good cause. It made me realize  in another way, how far we can get with the simple act of walking.
