Aflenz Kurort

Well, it’s exactly 9 consecutive years that we celebrate 15th of October. Year by year we go for our weekend and enjoy it just us two.

This time we combined the booking, as I picked up the destination and then Miska chose the best available accommodation.

Just by a lucky hit we end up on the most beautiful track of the year the day we arrived. At least that’s what the official banner said. Frequent pit stops with heavy and light drinks were guaranteed. For the day after, we went on for some proper hiking. Our goal was Fölzstein (1946 m) a rocky peak situated just next to Fölzkogel (highest in the region). The track started by Fölzalm – a narrow gate in between huge stones above the creek.  Later by the river basin and through the inner valley we reached “Grasser Hütte“.  From here the last and hardest hour of the trail begun. Although we were not further then approx. 50 height meters from the top, we decided not risk and rather leave the goal away. Going down, taking a round through forest we reached the car by dark. How typical.
