peitlerkofel 2875m + neustift abbey, IT

as every august for 6 or 7 years, my wife provides a seminar for teachers in neustift abbey (kloster neustift, abbazia novacella) in south tirol (südtirol), italy, IT. my highlight this year was the hiking tour around the peitlerkofel mountain (2875m) in the dolomiti area of the italian alps.

i'll most likely upload pictures + insights later ... much later ... most likely in the cold + rainy autumn evenings, okay?

traunsee, ebensee, langbathsee, wolfgangsee - AT

traunsee, ebensee, langbathsee, wolfgangsee ~ oberösterreich (upper austria), AT. 

btw, which of these four 'lakes' (see) is not a lake? ... got it? well, ebensee is just a name of the village at in southernmost part of lake traunsee that means here is everything flat ('eben') 😆

btw, the lake traunsee build by the traun river is the deepest lake (completely located) in austria with 191m.

i'll most likely upload pictures + insights later ... much later ... most likely in the cold + rainy autumn evenings, okay?

castle plumlov, CZ

what a nice stop over in plumlov (plumenau, plumau, blumenau) a historical hotel villa at an artificial lake plumlov in moravia, czech republic, CZ ... we've met a friend of mine petr who lives in nearby mohelnice (müglitz), we've had a romantic dinner at the lake side terrace in our almost empty hotel (the weather was not good enough for swimming) ... .

i'll most likely upload pictures + insights later ... much later ... most likely in the cold + rainy autumn evenings, okay?

castle brunow (schloss braunau) + lodz + taraska, PL

... there are more braunaus in the world than just hitler's birth city braunau in today's austria, you know? where? 

• in the czech republic (called broumov today. we have just visited the nearby rock formations in adersbach) 
• in poland. we've spent 2 nights in castle hotel brunow, silesia ~ schloss braunau, schlesien, PL. well, in lower silesia (niederslesien, slask dolny) we have also visited boleslawiec (bunzlau). after that we moved to central poland lodz + ruda bugaj + the art of living's ashram in taraska. 

i'll most likely upload pictures + insights from poland later ... much later ... most likely in the cold + rainy autumn evenings, okay?

blade night munich

what a nice way to spent time with friends! bladenight munich ... every monday evening at 9 p.m. through all summer ... of course, just when it is not a rainy day ... 

the starting point of the blade night close to the oktoberfest area

skaters on the road ...

lake waldschwaigsee ~ karlsfeld bei münchen

what a nice afternoon with children at the quarry pond (baggersee) waldschwaigsee between langwied and karlsfeld 😊 it is a quite quiet place with no playground for children, no beach volley area, no barbecue area ... and there is just a small kiosk with a really limited selection of food ... anyway. it is a nice place to go close to the 3 crowded langwieder lakes, too. btw, the parking place in the langwieder street is still for free and even at a hot weekend day like today not overcrowded. 

i was not completely sure what does 'schwaige' mean and thought it could be s.th. with water. well, i've asked AI and look what they answered: Der Waldschwaigsee bei Karlsfeld verdankt seinen Namen einer früher dort bestehenden Waldschwaige, also einem Gehöft mit Viehhaltung am Waldrand. 😄

the shallow water bay called schweinebucht (swine bay)

lawn for sunbathing

there were not many shadow places, if you asked me

there is a small island inside the lake (on the left side) 🐋

paulinum ~ walking back in time

how crazy is that? three of us met some 30+ years after we left our student dorm paulinum again just to visit our old well known places 😀~ the LMU university, the surrounding streets, the nearby bars + restaurants which changed most over the time ... our student home still exists and functions as a refugee accommodation awaiting massive reconstruction today.

one of the back entries to the LMU university

 = ludwig-maximilians-universität in munich

like a student again ...

audimax, auditorium maximum, the biggest lecture hall at the LMU

paulinum, our old students home, rambergstr. 6, close

 to the LMU university witnessed better times before ⏰

3 of us 🍀😊🍀

the bavarian atzinger guesthouse close to the LMU university

 could keep its student character over the years 🍻🍻🍻

highly NOT recommended aka do not visit the place where my munich pictures are stored. it is my still growing 'walking in munich album' with 1,000+ pictures. the sheer number of pictures + years covered would make you feel sick 😱
