Didn't the snow just melt?! I stare out the window in disbelief. Here, you can practically watch the leaves slowly turn red and nature prepare for its winter sleep. And yet it feels like summer only just began. Apparently not. But as soon as I open my calendar entries for September, I know why time is flying by. Because there's simply far too much happening ….

The 5 Lakes Hike is considered one of Switzerland’s most beautiful panoramic hikes. The high-altitude trail passes five crystal-clear mountain lakes and offers fresh perspectives at every turn. Sabine Moosbrugger also raves about the hike and its impressive views.
mehr erfahren>The Karwendel High Trail is a multi-day long-distance hike through Austria’s largest nature park. "Andreas 112358" recommended the route to me on YouTube, saying the section along the Nordkette was particularly worthwhile. Would a 6-day hike like this be for you too?

Blausee may not be particularly large, but it is still one of Switzerland’s best-known mountain lakes. That’s probably thanks in large part to its striking color. After all, Blausee’s name means “blue lake,” and it certainly lives up to it. That’s why it’s worth a visit, as “MizutayioGP” told me on YouTube. Have you heard of the fascinating Blausee?

The story of “Marlene and cycling” hasn't exactly been a success story in recent years. Quite the opposite. I don't feel comfortable in the saddle. But I recently visited the bike park in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis. I went in with a knot in my stomach and came home with a small sense of achievement. Maybe all hope isn't lost after all.

The contrast is striking, too: beyond the meadows in the foreground, the rocky towers in the background look even more impressive. Many Instagrammers and photographers already know this spot. Armed with cameras, tripods and lifestyle clothing, they head up to snap the perfect photo. But is a visit to the Seceda photo spot really worth it?

The city lies below me. Far below me. Almost 2.000 vertical meters separate me from the houses I can make out in the valley. That's a long way. And it's a very steep drop, too. Secured by my via ferrata kit, I carefully put one foot in front of the other along the Nordkette ridge. And yes, I'm enjoying every single moment.

I’m afraid of heights. That’s why I’m usually extra careful when planning a hike. I don’t head into the mountains without proper preparation and the confidence that I can handle the trickiest sections. How I’m feeling on the day matters too. Depending on my state of mind, some passages feel easier than others. This time, my fear of heights caught me off guard. But there’s something to learn from that too …

Until now, I had only seen the Hohe Tatra in pictures. I had never set foot in the mountain range on the border between Slovakia and Poland. That has changed. I even stood on Slovakia's highest mountain, Gerlsdorfer Spitze. After that, we had to move fast. A thunderstorm suddenly rolled in. It's likely to stay with me for a long time.

Advertisement || I experienced as much in two days as I normally would in a whole week. I faced my fears while mountain biking, saw Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis from a bird’s-eye view and feasted like a queen. And now, now I’m back in Munich, trying to process all the impressions and experiences that came at me in such a whirlwind.
