The soul of the Alps by StefanHefele

What is it that makes the Alps and mountains so fascinating? For sure it´s their unimaginable dimensions. The depth, the expanse. The dangers involved stimulate and challenges our primary instincts. But the sheer beauty that a mountain massif radiates is hard to put into words and will fulfill me in 2016 even more intensive.
Join me on this adventurous path.

Hidden Crater Lake by StefanHefele

“Hidden Crater Lake” – Tyrol – Austria

Deep in the wooded valleys of Tyrol lies this round and crazy-colorful crater-lake. No track leads to the edge of this little pearl. While dark clouds moved across the sky that evening, the last light of the sun could dip the horizon in a bit of color for a moment. What a valuable discovery for me.

Mordor by StefanHefele

“Mordor” – Vorarlberg – Austrian Alps

Have I told you that I just visited one of the most fanciful places that exists in a fantasynovel? It seems that places exists, where fantasy and reality merge. Even a dark place like Mordor apparently is alive in the otherwise idyllic world of the Alps. Just a view doorsteps away from the home of a lot of us. One reason why it is worth to hike hundreds of vertical meters in cruel heat and wait for hours in hope to catch the right light.

Wonderland by StefanHefele

“Wonderland” – Lechtaler Alpen – Austria

How wonderful it is, reaching the top of a mountain before sunrise after a pleasantly mild night under the starry at 2.200m altitude. The view from a ridge close to the top was incredible with all of the details in the distance. Waterfalls, houses, villages, paths, meadows, … Like a little wonderland from a naive child´s dream viewed from above.
