"The mountains are calling and I must go." - John Muir

I have been sick this week and I used the time browsing through old photos and reveling in memories. Amongst other things, I found some pictures of our hiking/climbing trip to the Lienzer Dolomites last summer.

This is the mountain hut we stayed in. It's called Dolomitenhütte. As you can see, the hut was built right on the edge of a 50 meter deep abyss. Sleeping there is a really special experience. One of the sleeping rooms is called aerie - and the name is the program. It lies directly on the edge with windows to the floor and a wonderful panoramic view of the local mountains of Lienz. But be warned, sleeping there you should not be afraid of heights... 😉

From there we made a hiking trip to the Karlsbaderhütte in order to go climbing there. It's only a two-hour hike, but with all the climbing gear on the back, it's been a tough challenge. But the effort was worth it, cause we were rewarded with this amazing view....

Bathing our tried feed in this gorgeous mountain lake charged our batteries for the climbing adventure that awaited us. Trust me, climbing in front of this panorama was one of the best experiences we have ever made.

Coming back home to the Dolomitenhütte that evening, we were exhausted, but happy through and through. So if the mountains are calling you as well, I got to go. It will be worth it! 😊

I hope this small travel blog-post motivated you to explore the beauty of the mountains as well.

P.S.: We are still looking for another mountain adventure this year. So if you have any suggestions/ insider tips on where to go, please let us know!

Thank you so much @anthonywong. I really appreciate that! :)

Espectacular con semejante viste al que sufre de vértigo se le quita de una!

Very beautiful scenary! Did you go swimming in the lake?

The scenery is awesome! Unfortunately, it's been too cold, but at least we refreshed our feed in the lake :)

Ahh Makes sense. and yes that's true!

A very adrenaline-ridden experience, let alone sleeping at home with a room directly at the edge of a cliff. Very memorable of course.

It's been memorable, indeed! Thank you very much for your comment, @jamilfian :)

I am also glad, when I told you about the wonderful memory of the past. It will make us smile happily as we remember it.

I spend my lonely time on the mountain too. Whenever I can't find inspiration, encouragement and motivation, there's only one place to go. It's the mountain. I have them proliferating my area. Post upvoted

@bibirider I know the feeling I live across the road from a beautiful forest and I work from home, so when I lok out my office window I always battle with the temptation to just go for an impromptu run with my dog #Georgethedognorman which I often succumb to anyway, lol

It sounds as if you live/work in a wonderful place. I work from home as well most of the time. Although we live in the city center. #Georgethedognorman is really cute, btw. He is a German Sheperd, right?

Yes he is, he is a different breed though, smaller breed, not 100% sure the exact details.

I got him from a friend of mine at 8 weeks old and he is now 8.5 years old believe it or not, he is getting on in years.

Not sure what I would do without my best buddy :-) love him to bits.
Have an awesome weekend.
Take care, chat soon.
