Today's tour takes us to the southernmost part of Austria.

First we take a leisurely walk along the Loiblbach stream until the actual gorge begins after the Goldener Brundl. Well-secured, we walk over ladders, steps and bridges to the first of 3 waterfalls. A bridge and a spiral staircase lead directly next to the first waterfall to the top, where the second waterfall is reached below the Loiblpass road. We cross a bold suspension bridge to reach the thundering Tschaukofall, a spectacular viewing platform and a huge rock gate. Now we follow the nature trail "In the footsteps of Dr. Peter Tschauko". Numerous display boards inform us about the fauna and flora of the Loibl Valley. Passing the refreshing Elfenquelle spring and the Liebes-Platzl square, we finally reach the traditional "Deutscher Peter" inn. After a well-earned rest, we return to Lake Wörthersee. The difference in altitude is approx. 200 m, the walking time approx. 2 hours.

City trip to Italy? Of course: Rome, Venice, Florence... The name Trieste is rarely mentioned in the list. Perhaps this is because the port city on the Adriatic is not "typically" Italian. The grandiose architecture of the buildings is more reminiscent of Vienna, Prague or Budapest and in the language, the Slovenian "dober dan" is often heard in the same breath as the Italian "buon giorno". The charm of the city lies not only in the evidence of its Habsburg and multicultural past, but above all in the mixture that this past has created with the Italian present. At the latest when you taste the coffee, hear the sea and feel the sun, Trieste shows you its Italian soul.
