Yesterday, #Hiking in the #Mountains at approx. 2,000 m, with 1,600 m EG. In #Vienna, it was foggy and cold, but on the #Rax, there was a bright blue sky with no wind and temperatures between 8 and 12°C. Not a soul in sight, wonderful silence. At the #Habsburghaus, it was so overwhelmingly beautiful that it took the greatest willpower to leave at all. Descent in the dark, on a steep snowy and icy path. With good crampons, of course.

Snowshoe tracks on a snow-covered mountain plateau. In the background, the neighboring mountain, Schneealpe. Bright blue sky.

View down onto a snow-covered hill. On top of it stands a large mountain hut, the Habsburghaus. In the background is the neighboring mountain, the Schneealpe. In the distance are many more Alpine peaks. Blue sky.

On the left side of the picture is the western edge of the Rax. There is a direct connection to the neighboring Schneealpe via a ridge. Blue sky.

View from a snow-covered path back to the Habsburghaus mountain hut. The sunset bathes it and the surrounding rocks in reddish light. In the distance, bluish fog lies over the valley, above which the haze shows a color gradient from reddish to yellowish and to the light blue of the evening sky.

Good evening! Just a daily mountain photo for you 😉 I took it on my hike last weekend.

At this point I thought that it might have been beneficial if I would also have brought gaiters, then I would have walked a bit more into the snow.

But it was still a great day.

This image showcases a stunning winter landscape under a clear blue sky. The sun shines brightly, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered terrain. In the foreground, a blanket of pristine white snow covers the ground, with footprints marking a path through the winter wonderland.

Evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, frame the scene and add a touch of green to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. The trees lead the eye toward a breathtaking view of a vast valley and a serene lake nestled among the mountains. The lake, partially covered in mist, reflects the surrounding peaks and the sky, creating a tranquil and picturesque scene.

In the background, a range of snow-capped mountains stretches across the horizon, their majestic peaks rising against the clear sky. The combination of snow, trees, lake, and mountains creates a harmonious and serene atmosphere, evoking a sense of peace and awe at the beauty of nature. This winter landscape captures the quiet majesty of the mountains and the serene beauty of a snowy day, perfect for outdoor adventures and moments of reflection. — This image showcases a stunning winter landscape under a clear blue sky.

Oh, almost forgot #silentsunday!
My last hike led me to this summit which is usually very well visited.

But given the weekday & weather, I was totally alone while I was up there. Noone around. No human made sound. Just me and nature. It felt so much like real freedom.

This image captures a breathtaking winter landscape from a high vantage point. The scene is dominated by a vast, snow-covered mountain range under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. A serene lake lies nestled among the mountains, its icy surface reflecting the surrounding peaks and the sky above.

The foreground features a mix of snow-covered ground and patches of green shrubs, adding texture and contrast to the scene. The sunlight casts a soft glow over the landscape, highlighting the pristine beauty of the snow and the ruggedness of the mountains. — This image captures a breathtaking winter landscape from a high vantage point.

#Trailrunning last Friday: Hike'n'Run over the #Krummbachstein, with great views of #Rax & #Schneeberg, with 1,300 m EG. Partly through 20-50 cm deep snow. 1h steep descent through the dark forest – not ideal if you don't have a headlamp with you. The best thing about the tour: easily accessible from #Wien, and the start/finish is right on the train platform!

During the ascent, you have a beautiful view of the Rax massif, 2,007 m. There is snow at the top. Blue sky.

View of the valley and neighboring mountains. Blue sky, some haze in the distance.

The path splits in a snow-covered gorge: continue up to the left. To the right, a kind of slide made of tree trunks runs alongside the path. This was used in the past to transport felled timber down to the valley. Blue sky.

An alpine hut at dusk, the half moon shining. Snow everywhere, but grass peeking through. Mountains in the distance.
