Tu felix Austria

Over the weekend my mum came to visit and we went on an extended hiking tour in the Vorarlbergian Alps. We chose to make our way up to the mountain summit of the Hohe Kugel (1645m above sea level), or "High Globe", which was given the name because its peak resembles the shape of a globe - round, not jagged, covered with grass, not rocky. The view was spectacular, offering us three different, but equally astounding sights:

The Swiss Alps:



The Austrian Alps



Lake Constance





And blueberries, growing wild:-)
