Sommer holidays in the Alps

Mountains, mountains, mountains

Three weeks sommer holidays in the alps at three different places for hiiking, paragliding (not me!) and sketching. For someone who lives in Hamburg, where the highest hill has 90 meters, the world of mountains is exiting. I have to get used to the hights above me or the depth beyond me. This big nature is very impressive. 











In the first week we stayed in a simple little wooden house 







with a small garden, 

and a typical living room.



I love hiking in the mountains. I love the green smooth alms, the lakes, the silence and the fresh air. But the real highlights are the mountain-huts, where you get the best Kaiserschmarrn or Apfelstrudel.




One week of the three we spent in Feltre, Italy. While Gu was driving up with his paragliding group to the top, taking off and flying above this beautiful erea, 


I drove down to explore with my sketchbook the town Feltre,








and its surrounding. 






Life there was still under the shadow of Corona. Some bars and shops where
closed and everybody was going around with a mask…








My highest sketching point at 2443 m 




My hero :)
