… on the 25th - 27th of September there is another weekend full of fitness, of course for those of you watching from a safe distance the weekend can be spent on other, more relaxing things.

The [1] ultrarun with it’s 55 km takes you around Wörthersee on the beautiful hiking trail and can be done either alone or relay. Also hiking and Nordic Walking has a spot in the programme on Saturday.

The Wine and Gourmet weekend “[2] Haube & Traube“, between the 23rd and 26th October can be enjoyed for the second time at Schloss Velden. National and international star chefs will certainly spoil you with good food and wine to go with it. You will enjoy it for sure! (Tip of the day: Make sure you hide the scale well before you leave and engage a personal trainer for when you return back)

Also the autumns brings perfect opportunities to enjoy the fantastic [3] golf-courses in the area, but also [4] trekking and hiking is certainly one of the highlights.

For those of you going on motorbikes, as long as you stay away from the higher mountains, you will be safe from snow. The  [5] Grossglockner High Alpine Road got their fair share of snow yesterday. This fantastic road takes you through the  Hohe Tauern National Park to the highest mountain in Austria, Grossglockner with its 3.798 metres. The high Alpine Road is 48 km, 36 bends and an altitude to more then 2.500 metres.

Quote; - In 1951, Oskar Kühlken, author of the “Glockner Book“ described the myth behind the mountain as follows:

“The Grossglockner is more than just the highest mountain in Austria. It is enveloped in the aura of an extraordinary personality, cast on all who fall under its spell.“
With the building of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, the majestic peak acquired a new dimension. As a popular excursion destination it is the epitome of an impressive natural experience for many people: size and power can be felt here, one is subject to the fascination of the eternal ice and the elemental force of nature.

So long - awaiting the new dimension
