Going Golling


GOLLING AN DER SALZACH FALLS

Sunday morning couldn’t have started better.  Companion and I went to the Gölling waterfalls at the edge of the town. It is the source of the Salzach. The atmosphere was fairly calm and not super-touristy. We aimed to hike up the water feature at our pace. The final peak was indeed spectacular. Water gushed out the ledge and we could feel the splashes. The horse-tail punch bowl waterfall really blew us out of our minds! We took some time at the local cafe to try out some Topfenstrudel & Apfelstrudel. I gotta say, my Topfenstrudel was unexpectedly delicious.
The Golling's majestic water display. 


The long way down from the hike. 

Scenery that is sold on pictures, I saw it up-close.

Another postcard-worthy snap. 



In the midst of exquisite beauty.
Amazing rock formation underneath the Golling.

Forest Bathing on Hiking Trips

Image
I really miss hiking! Hiking is a form of meditation for me, escaping the noise of society into a calm natural setting. With every step I take, I rejoice in the beauty of the universe's creations. Forest bathing, a term I wasn't aware of until I began my hike routines, is a process that heals the body. I stand by this concept as there were many times I would feel chaotic or low on energy and would find instant relief with a short hiking trip. Beautiful moss in the forest Leaves in autumn make for crunchier footsteps Always love reaching the apex, proof of a good day's workout I've always found fogs the most gorgeous/mysterious of all of the universe's creation Seeing farm animals intrigues me as a city girl Magnolia trees in spring create an awesome backdrop in the middle of town

Museum Mode!!! Deutsche style

Image
Perfectly coiffed and styled in my lovely maroon pullover, we decided to end the trip at Deutsches Museum as we took the bus to this majestic museum. Of course, at first I asked my companion, 'what could we find in the German museum?' and I got this reply 'Everything that is German, I guess'. (sigh, Captain Obvious just flew above me). The museum was an aptly named building as it showcased exhibition on all angles, located in the heart of Munich. There were the astronomical, mining, shipping, biotechnological, textile, music and a dozen more collections in other sectors. Providing the digitization of information, coupled with the necessary history, this museum has provided us with the best scientific, cultural, artistic and digital framework. We thoroughly enjoyed the virtual exhibits of body heat recognition using a special technology, the latest in the field of biology. Twice during the tour, my companion and I stopped by at the lobby to indulge at the massage cha...

Jolly Gaisberg

Aerial View  This is probably the second time I have been up to Gaisberg in three months. This mountain on the east of Salzburg is definitely one of the most favourite sporting areas for paragliders, mountain climbers, mountain bikers and other winter sports. Each time we were up there we noticed many paragliders, bracing through cold Alpine wind and temperature to reach their maximum thrill in the heights of this beautiful range of mountains. We went altogether around six people who were just as crazy as the the Salzburg rain. The weather was amazing as blue skies served as the mountain backdrop with the sun shining at our faces. This provided temporal warmth in the midst of minus zero degrees. The scenery includes a not-so-attractive giant antenna building at the top of the hill but the view below the hills was absolutely amazing. The valleys and tiny spots of village life is somewhat the most rewarding prize of the entire hike. Our friend h...
