A quick look down at my feet and I know: spring is here. How’s that? You ask yourselves. Well, instead of ski boots my feet are encased in walking boots, which I’ve just dusted off and swapped for my winter boots. At the moment there’s still too much snow on the mountains to undertake a hike, but as they say: #atleastyoucandream and that’s why I’d like to make a “list of hiking tours“. Here I’ll note down all the hiking tours I want to experience this summer.

With regard to spontaneous tours, this list is just perfect for me, otherwise it’s going to be my home mountain, which I’ve already climbed umpteen times. Really nice, yet my thirst for new tours has to be quenched (;

I make myself comfy on the terrace in the spring sunshine, listen to the birds chirping merrily and start my research. From the Kramer Sattel to the Weissgrubenkopf and the Hochgründeck – everything’s noted in my little walking tour book. Meticulously supplemented with the starting point, the walking time and a tour highlight. My outdoor heart starts to beat a little faster, as: “the anticipation is the best part of waiting”.
