Austrian upstairs

Posted on oktober 5, 2015 by ledrakenoir

P 19

Earlier this summer, a day in the austrian Valluga area – between Arlberg and Tirol.

My inspiration comes from wonderful “Restlessjo” and her “Monday walk” themes.
A walk or more correct a bike ride and a bit help from a cable car for the Valluga.

View from Valluga.

P 08

Not a mountain penthouse but excellent for what it’s built for – having a break.

K 88

In fact a peaceful night up there, no noisy sounds only new strange sounds.

Austrian nature ahead close to the line between Arlberg and Tirol..

  Yes I enjoy riding my mountain bike for several reasons – I love the nature and love feeling it close to me – I want to keep my slim line even I like good food and one or two glasses of tasty red wine – sedentary work doesn’t help much in that project…. 😀

    A pleasure to like at!
    I know the feeling! But cycling is great fun and the best helper to burn all unwanted calories that insist to accompany tasty wine and food!! I do race biking with my husband but just for fun too. It’s so relaxing and reinvigorating.
    Pity that winter stops the fun while sedentary life reigns!

      I think it’s wonderful that more and more larger cities does a lot more making some more people may be tempted – by creating the opportunity to do it without all the risk or many of them – normally there are many places where cycling is a high risk way of moving – Amsterdam and Copenhagen have showed the way, so other cities are followed. 🙂

        Absolutely agree with you. But there is a long way to go for some cities, like London, for example, where cyclists die each day fighting for space in a jammed traffic. But it’s improving.

        Yes some cities have a long way to go before they reach the goal.

Spectacular scenery, Drake! I would need to be a mountain goat for that first climb :). Many thanks for pushing your bike all the way up there, just for me. (with a little help from the cable car)

  It looks more exhausting than it is – a servile black mountain bike is the only thing needed and some bottles of water – so glad you enjoyed these views… 🙂

Well, oh, as a prairie girl… I wish you were from here! Then you would show the beauty of all the stunning flat lands. I think they are undervalued, like deserts.
As usual, your captures are fab TY!!!

  Totally agree, desserts and prairies are often undervalued – always enjoy my tunisian visits and Sahara – would really enjoy a prairie ride too… 🙂

  And the place in front of the almost clifftop “lluxury penthouse flat” is perfect for just sit with a coffee mug or a glass of wine – while enjoying the view from there… 😀

  Ja med tryk på ‘lidt’, det bliver ikke til så meget – arbejdet tager for meget tid, men intet piveri – det er jo min egen skyld – det er det med at sige nej… 😀
  
  Men faktisk så bliver det efter min egen mening til for lidt nye steder.
  Det er alle sammen steder i relation til eller kombination med en anden grund at jeg besøger dem – men jeg er meget glad for at du ku’ li’ disse billeder – jeg kombinerede en arbejdsopgave med at tage 1½ dag op i bjergene sammen med en lokal. 🙂
