Short holiday over Pfingsten

May 20th, 2013

Hi extreme families!
Last weekend my brothers and sisters with their friends and children we drove to bad ausee for making a short holiday together.
we slept at the josefinum which is hosted by the kreuzschwestern.
This pension was very attractive and for our family perfect because we could use the breakfast room for our partys 😉
we could also use the playground for playing with the children!
on saturday we drove up to the loser restaurant were we hiked up on the snow to the loser.
josef were the brave man who did a tandem parachute flight with me over this region!
what a nice scenery!
Then we drove to Grundlsee and did a hike to the toplitzsee which is famous for its pretended treasure of gold.
we very lucky to get some good grilled fish 😉
on sunday we drove to hallstatt and did a sightseeing tour.
on the last day we climbed some crazy adrenaline parcours at the hochseilkletterpark in altausee
Thanks for this great family weekend!


Tandem Paragliding Mittagskogel (2042m)

November 18th, 2012

Hi extreme tandem paragliding freaks!
this day oliver, tom, steffi, martin, alex and me drove to weng for hiking up to the mittagskogel.
in the valley was a lot of fog but we were lucky to had a sunny but on the top a litle bit cold day.
at the top martin started his gin yak 16.5m² speedflyer. he went up really fast.
the rest of the group decided to go downwards and tried another starting place.
safety first is our slogan!
alex and me started with no step forward our tandem parachute…
the wind was really good.
next time i will open the trimmer.
we had a really great flight down to weng (gesäuse) where the fog got lifted.
alex was happy and perhaps next we have another passionate paraglider in the ennstal ;))
thanks oliver to this great idea..
cya in the sunny mountans

i took many pictures from the northwall of the eiger. so if someone wanted to climb this famous mountain just give me an email. i will send you the detailed pictures.
in the evening we drove to lauterbrunnen to the schützenbach camping whích was very quit.
the crazy thing there is the valley has 72 waterfalls and it is famous for their bigwalls for basejumping and speedflying.

There were 3 very nice outstanding views on this tour and we had to pass the via ferrata exit.

Speedflying Pribitz and Messnerin at Grüner See

August 3rd, 2012

Hi extreme fullmoomspeedflyerwashers.
Last two days summit surfers patrick, bernhard, tina and marlene drove to tragöss for hiking and speedflying the pribitz and messnerin.
we did one flight (in)to the grüner see and after drying our glider we hiked a second time to the summit of the pribitz.
we did a bbq at the pribitz(1579m) with the best sausages – the käsekrainer. 😉
the fullmoon was shining at our basecamp.
so we had wonderful views to the grüner see.
on the next morning the fullmon got down in the western side and the sun rises up at eastern side.
so we very so lucky to get the first sun rays. yihaaa.
sleeping in such a beautiful area without a house or tent is a great thing.
just give it a try.
patrick and me did a good morning flight into the grüner see which was excellent for getting a beautiful holiday started.
then we hiked up to the messnerin (1835m) where we looked for some great speedflying rides. but the wind was southerly so we flew down to the parking lot to the southern direction. we did some great relative flights. thanks for this great feeling.
This area i can recommend for a trip!
have much fun and enjoy your holidays.
