June 28, 2025,Die Kapfrunde von Götzis über Kapfweg und Schreckweg

A breathtaking tour with an adrenaline rush. I originally wanted to finish the tour via the Örfla Gorge, but it has been partially closed since March 24, 2025.
You can find the video of the tour here:

May 9, 2025,Auf den Kapf

A super varied tour on great trails; surefootedness and a head for heights are helpful. The view today was only moderate, but if the weather was good, you'd probably see half of Lake Constance! And where else would you find a power outlet at the summit cross (it's glued on) ;-)

March 14, 2024,14. 3. 2024 (267) Götzis, Götzner Berg- Kapfweg-Millrütte-Schreckweg

Today everything was right again, fantastic weather, great company and a relaxed tour.
At Götzner Berg we started at the upper hiking car park right next to the bus stop. So you could easily go there by public transport and do an even longer tour in many directions.
Stephanie knew an “old” scary path and we walked it until we …

The last time we hiked together, we were in the snow. Today, Stephanie and I sought out and found spring. Higher up in the mountains, however, it's still quite wintry, which she'll enjoy with her hiking buddies on Friday.

From the parking lot on Meschacherstraße, we set off towards the Kapfweg trail. It's always incredibly impressive, but it's really only …

September 16, 2022,16.09.22 🇦🇹 Kapfweg - Kapf - Schreckweg - Örflaschlucht 🥰😄🥰

This small fine tour leads along the Schreckweg over wonderfully wuzelige forest paths 🥰🥰🥰, the blue/white marked Kapfweg (you need a head for heights here) takes you on narrow paths along the impressive rock face 🤩🤩🤩 and past the Witeleloch natural monument, which we explored a little today ... it's steep and slippery going down there and so we then …
