Vienna Spring 2018 - Part 1

Surprise Trip To Vienna


Thursday - May 10th 2018

Nearly each year Claudia and I hike to Lake Tappenkar and this year was no exception.  Once we arrived at the parking lot from where the hiking path starts, we were a little bit surprised that there were hardly any cars. At first we really didn't care about that, but along the way we didn't come across many people. Granted, it was early in the hiking season, but the weather was actually quite good. After an hour we realized why there weren't any other people, because there was still plenty of snow on top of the mountain which blocked the way to the lake. Since it got a little bit dangerous, we decided to return. Back at parking lot we saw a sign that indicated that the season starts on June 1st. We could have saved a lot of time, if we just saw the sign when we left the car. Since we were a little bit frustrated with the whole situation, we spantaneously booked a hotel in Vienna for the weekend.

Since we still had to pack our luggage, we didn't arrive in Vienna before the evening. After we unloaded our stuff and checked in, we headed into the city for dinner at Veggiezz, a new vegan restaurant in town. There we also enjoyed a couple of cocktails until we returned to the hotel

Tappenkarsee

Hiking To Tappenkarsee

Saturday - July 20th 2013

Since the weather was really nice, Claudia and I decided to go hiking. We found a nice tour to the Tappenkarsee (Lake Tappenkar) that wasn't too hard and Saturday in the morning we were on our way to Kleinarl, a very small town in the Alps. Unfortunately the main holiday season started and so we got into a traffic jam. Finally around 10am we arrived and started our hiking tour.

The Tappenkarsee is a mountain lake in the Radstadt Tauern in the Austrian Alps and is a very popular for hiking. We started at the so called Schwabalm and around two hours later and an altitude difference of 700 meters, we arrived at the Tappenkarsee.

There we spent some time and had a Radler, a beer mixed with lemonade, at the Tappenkarsee Hut. An hour later we were on our way back to the car.

Before we returned to Salzburg we stopped at the Jägersee (Hunter's Lake) and enjoyed another Radler while watching a swan family.
