Janes holiday travels
Two days in Southampton meeting Susie, and her friends Jan and Craig, before we all set sail for the Orkney and Faroe Islands and Greenland and Iceland. I had an afternoon in Southampton in Westquay shopping centre pottering in two of my favourite shops. Waterstones book shop and M & S!!! Then off with Susie,…
We arrived in Salzberg to our lovely boutique hotel, the Hotel and Villa Auersperg, situated in the new town of Salzburg. What a lovely place to relax with such friendly and helpful staff. Such a change to the previous hotel in Schonau. We started off strolling through the new town of Salzburg and then crossed…
Sadly the weather and a landslide caused our visit to the Eagle’s Nest to be cancelled. So Geoff and myself decided to head to the old town of Berechtesgaden for a look around despite the rainy weather. What a beautiful old town. There is a 900 year old history here in the old centre of…
16.9 kms today and 979 meters up and 1040 meters down!! The ascents and descents made today’s walk the toughest of all six walks. We had to go back to Ramsau to commence today’s walk and we had to climb the path that we have come down yesterday along by the river. Somehow it’s almost…
15 kms to cover….543 meters up and 548 meters down. So today was a relatively easy day. We took a taxi from Bad Reichenhall to Bischofswiesen but the taxi driver had no idea where he was going and it was easier in the end to get out of the taxi and walk to the start…

Today we were told it was an easy day. And I guess it was apart from the enormous vertical climb two thirds of the way into our hike! Again the most amazing scenery. We started in Ruhpolding and walked through the Chiemgau Alps to a tiny village near Inzell. We crossed farmland to the sounds…
Start of the day!!!! Well I managed to get out of bed this morning and actually felt a lot better than I did last night! After a lovely continental breakfast we had a transfer from our hotel to the Bergen Hochfelln cable car station. Ascending in the cable car we had amazing views of…
Hi I’m now in Germany (Bavaria) where I am about to embark on a 7 day hike with my fellow hiker, Geoff, also from Australia and a very experienced hiker over the years. We flew into a very wet Munich and managed to navigate our way on to the train to take us to Bernau…
