Paragliding with Hels

Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa.. check this out!! I went paragliding!!!! and hehehehe.. I made Helena come too!! she was not too excited about the plan but she did have a great time in the end! we went on a tandem flight with Lois the Salzburgian Paraglide Pro!! he's great!! and knows a lot about his stuff!! both of us were about 15 minutes up in the air ... I wished I could upload the videos that Lois made during the flight! it's fun.. I don't stop screaming... nooooo.. just once when he decided to play roller coaster!! ;) seriously.. I would do it again.. no doubt!!

Rafting and Canyoning

what a day, what a day... I went on an "Adventure Day" to Abtenau with Silvia (ex-collegue at Wombats) and Tom (ex-boss at Wombats) and Joe (the American) which we offer at the hostel. it was a great experience although I had already participated in this tour once when I went to Abtenau with Uni 2 years ago! still, the country side is amazing!! we went canoe-rafting on the Salzach, starting from Werfen. I could not believe it, when Moe (one of the founders of Alpin Sports) told us that we would go 2 and 2 in the canoes and he would go in his own canoe... it was pretty exciting! still the wild water level went only up to 2 which is pretty "easy" to deal with! but the szenery is just great! I would recommend it to every one!!


in the afternoon we started our canyoning tour into the "Almbach Klamm" and had a great time! we had to jump from 4 1/2 meter high rocks and swam through 6 degrees cold water... brrrrrr.. freeeeeeezing, I can tell you!! I hope that Joe gets to send some photos from the trip soon cause he brought an underwater camera and took photos on the canoe and in the canyon.. I can't wait to get them!!

More mountains...

a pic of my mountain bike trip to Prossau... it is a valley next to Gastein valley and there are no cars allowed.. it's so "natural" .. very nice!!

and then Verena came to visit and we made a hiking trip which turned into a slight "climbing" trip.. it was fun but we were quite exhausted when we finally arrived up at the mountain hut "Poser Höhe" after 1 hour to get to the track and 1 hour up the mountain! but the view was great and the very famous "Kaiserschmarrn" tasted delicious!!

look at me!! I'm turning into a Heidi up here ... jejejejejejeje...


and that was after coming down from the mountain... check out the sign... it says "Alpin Way into Paradise"... well.. I'm not so sure about that...
