LAKES, PEAKS AND BLISTERS 🥾: Long-distance hiking in Austria, Salzkammergut

[@bugsandbears]

Have you ever been hiking over several days? Any recommendations for long-distance trails out there? Who is keen on hiking the BergeSeen trail in the Salzkammergut once 🏔🇦🇹?

[@seadragondrawings7843]

Bugs & Bears. If you ever go back to Australia. Try Wilsons Promontory National Park. The park is about 5 hours from Melbourne. There are many scenic long distance hikes that you can camp on. One of my favourite hikes is from Tidal River to South Point (the southernmost point of mainland Australia!) and hiking back up through the bush to Little Waterloo Bay. There are many places to set up your tent after a long day of bushwalking!!

[@bugsandbears]

We should definitely do that and we'd love to visit Australia again once - it was one of our highlights during our world trip! Thank you so much for your recommendations! We highly appreciate that! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

Mein Mann und ich werden wahrscheinlich durch den Inntal oder Zillertal wandern gehen. Wir wohnen in Tirol und haben praktisch überall in Österreich schön marschiert. Viel in Deutschland auch. Bald fangen wir in der Schweiz an!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

My husband (Wiener) and I (American) are hopefully going to start a similar channel in year or so! Love your content!

[@nuoutdoor]

nice viveo! tasty drone shots.

[@CRVideos0877]

Congratulations for your work, it is trully inspiring :)

[@nuoutdoor]

great film !

[@heathernicolesarangi9060]

Love your travel series! Danke!! Could you please recommend the best winter hikes around Salzkammergut and Innsbruck for families? I love hiking but my kids are lightweights, lol!!!

[@kasskath3578]

I just stumbled on your video looking for some hiking suggestions in the Austrian Alps. Thank you for the beautiful documentary. I'm so much into hiking and and I'm dreaming of a long distance hike on my own. If the Universe allows, I would go for it this summer. I've been to Attersee last year but only did some cycling and driving around the lake. The weather wasn't its best, hehe.

[@cristianj3661]

I never get tired of seeing and reviewing all Austria beauty!!!

[@bugsandbears]

Until you come and see it for yourself again, we'll keep producing videos for you 😍!

[@joedoe9895]

WONDERFUL !!!!

[@bugsandbears]

Appreciate it! Thanks, John!

[@WanderLustMike]

Wow! 😯🤩💛🧡❤💜💙💚⛰⛰🚶🏽‍♂️

[@bugsandbears]

Thanks, Mike 🏔! Up, up into the mountains!

[@YabannPenceresi]

Really amazing and perfect. I enjoyed it. So beautiful. Greetings from Turkey.

[@bugsandbears]

Thanks, guys 🙌! You're awesome!

[@NickandRachel]

Nice video! That place is beautiful! Hopefully, I can get out that way one day and get some footage of my own to put up on the channel.

[@bugsandbears]

Let us definitely know if you need any recommendations! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@NickandRachel]

@@bugsandbears will do!

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

I can't even imagine being in those temperatures that Gerlinde was in on the Alaskan peak! How amazing that this trail connects 35 lakes! April agrees, the "Krapfen" are healthy for hikes...hahaha! They look delicious. LOL, puppy in the pants 😂 Yay for ruins! Noticed the knee braces, Matthias--April has residuals from an old knee injury...do those help with the pain when hiking? We have never done long-distance hiking, but this looks like so much fun...we'd like to try it! Especially if we don't have to tent-camp each night 👍

[@bugsandbears]

Good to know that April also agrees to the "Krapfen" being healthy for hikers 😅! Perfect! And that puppy in the pants surprised everyone - yep! Sorry to hear about April's knee injury. Yeah I use the knee braces as a precaution, but recently I fell in love with hiking sticks. They make every step so much softer for the knees and you can use hand power for walking (so you're more efficient in hiking). Thought they were for "elderly people" only 😅 but now I totally get why they make sense. Cheers, Matthias

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

Yeah, April has been using hiking sticks more often--very helpful!

[@KitatheExplorer]

I have never did long distance hiking over several days before. I honestly don’t know if my feet could handle it. But your hike looks like it was so much fun! And the swim breaks was even better!

[@bugsandbears]

I'm sure most feet can survive long distance hiking. You just gotta prepare yourself and slowly adapt to longer distances and hours of hiking. Thanks for watching! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@JoshThom]

Guys the sound design is so beautiful! So glad to have you back :)

[@bugsandbears]

Glad to hear that, especially from someone like you 😊! Thank you so much!

[@lukalarafritzsche9890]

What a beautiful video, thanks for sharing with us!! Which time during the year do you recommend doing this trail?

[@CD5FDA878D]

Awesome guys, we love the scenery all in all, wish to try this kind of experience. Stay safe and healthy always. Love to see more from you both.

[@X_explorer]

Very good vid!

[@bugsandbears]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@kaadventure3076]

stay safe my friend! from taiwan

[@TheTravelsOfZ]

You guys are creating amazing production value! Always love watching your videos, haven't done much hiking in Europe but you videos are inspiring me!

[@bugsandbears]

Glad you're enjoying our hiking adventure in Austria 🏔😊!

[@captainmacoy]

Hiking for several days, wow that’s incredible! I love all your b-rolls, the landscape is so amazing, the final destination is so breathtaking worth to climb. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@bugsandbears]

Oh.. yeah. That last mountain is called Schober and it's just a 40 minutes hike, which is quite short for the view you're getting. Feels like you've conquered a 3 hour summit 😅!

[@TheRealMB220]

I just found you tonight. You guys are great.

[@bugsandbears]

Glad you enjoyed our hiking content! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@NaschZentrale]

Super schöne aufnahmen aus meiner Heimat dem Salzkammergut :D, da bekommt man richtig Heimweh. Bin schon gespannt was eure nächste Reise so bringt lg aus Tirol

[@bugsandbears]

Hey, danke das freut uns, dass wir ein wenig OÖ nach Tirol schicken können. Aber euch geht's ja auch prächtig in den Bergen. Könnt euch bestimmt nicht beklagen - und Salzburg wird sicherlich auch großartig. Haben dort auch studiert (Puch Urstein). Bis bald 🏔!

[@AlexSimeon]

looks like such an insane hike and the lengthy trail! the landscape and the views are so beautiful though! the shot at 8:03 just made me go wow. the lake shots are stunning. looks like a tiring and maybe scary hike but everything it is definitely worth it with those views in the end. thanks for sharing!

[@bugsandbears]

Hi Alex, you're absolutely right - we're absolutely lucky to live so close to such stunning scenery, lakes and mountains. Thanks for watching! You're awesome!

[@gkelsey2883]

What a beautiful country. I wish someday I will be lucky to do some hiking in Austria. Best wishes, Gloria :-)

[@bugsandbears]

I'm sure you'd love it here in the mountains! Have a great day, Gloria 😊!

[@isrixmex]

Hallo Hat ihr vielleicht die Ruten?? Es ist wircklich eine sehr gute runde. Lg

[@Heissmonster]

Love "Wandering" in Austria however I have not yet done a long distance trail system - This video has me thinking my vacation plans may change for this summer Being from British Columbia , the hiking in Austria is much different. Over here there are no connecting trails or towns - only logging roads and old trails -- pack gear is a little different also - 12 gauge shotgun minimum :-)

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Robert - thanks for your feedback. Yes, hiking here in Austria is indeed a little different from British Columbia 😅. But we've enjoyed our hikes there and in the Yucon territory a lot (and survived even without 12 gauge shotgun 😉). Which area do you live there? Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@travelpockets]

Wow such a gorgeous video!! I probably wouldn't hike up the mountains since I'm terrible at it but I would definitely do the train. Interesting that she said Japan uses "forest therapy". We grew up in Japan and have never heard of that but I believe it. Nature does wonders. I have to look it up now!

[@bugsandbears]

I guess there are so many interesting things happening at the same time in Japan, you can't possibly follow all of them 😊. But forest bathing is definitely an interesting invention.

[@thomassauka]

Been waiting for a video for a while 👍

[@bugsandbears]

Hope it was worth waiting 😅!

[@XavierLeong]

Really beautiful! I've done a week long road trip where I camped each night but want to try a long-distance hiking experience one day!

[@bugsandbears]

Your roadtrip sounds amazing, being close to nature like that. Let us know if you've any questions about hiking over several days.

[@dncsprtgrmny4924]

Super Video 👌🏼

[@bugsandbears]

Thank you so much 🏔!

[@sams.9662]

Tolles Video. Eine Frage: Welche Rucksäcke habt ihr genutzt?

[@bugsandbears]

Danke, das freut uns! Wir haben einen Lowepro Pro Tactic 450 Aw für unser Kameraequipment und einen 35L Sportrucksack von Pieps dabei. Für mehr Gepäck gibt's hier am BergeSeen Trail die Möglichkeit für Gepäcktransport von Hotel zu Hotel - so hat man dann nur das Tagesgepäck mit dabei. Liebe Grüße aus Gmunden, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@mappletree]

Tolles Video! Hab es in meiner Facebookgruppe "Die schönsten Orte Österreichs" geteilt.

[@bugsandbears]

Cool, das freut' uns wirklich sehr. Bin gerade beigetreten und habe die Seite dazu entdeckt! Lässig und voller Inspiration! Weiter so, Christian!

[@admiralglenn]

Cool video

[@bugsandbears]

Thank you so much 🏔!

[@XennialTraveller]

BEAUTIFUL video! The only long distance hikes I've done were in the UK🇬🇧 - the Northumberland Coastal Path (we camped) and the Southwest Coastal path, well before I started vlogging. Both are stunning, and quite different to the one you did. I also had a couple of days hiking in Albania⛰️ (around/from Theth to Valbona - part of the Balkans Peaks), which was incredible. Looked a little like some of the parts you went through, but more rustic. Really love your content and I think your travel style is similar to mine so very happy to Subscribe and see your future videos 😀

[@bugsandbears]

Hey 👋 ! We've just looked up the Northumberland Coastal Path and it looks stunning. Can imagine how it must've been to wake up there right on the coast, looking out of your tent. Omg, that castle - there are some epic pictures on Google popping up. We've also thought about Albania already as we'd love to discover more beautiful places in Eastern Europe. We've subscribed too ☺️.

[@XennialTraveller]

@@bugsandbears I think you'd love the Northumberland one. First night we saw dolphins from shore, and one night we spent by an old war pill box. Just bring plenty of water each day!! I'm going to Bosnia next month so hopefully will be bringing you more of the kinds of stuff you guys like :D Maybe one day we can even go a collab trip together

[@bugsandbears]

Sounds like an adventure! Looking forward to seeing those video! Yeah, that’d be awesome, for sure 😎!

[@tomtaylor8948]

Hey Awesome drone shots. Can I film anywhere on the trail or is is forbidden to use my drone because it's national park? Thx :)

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Tom! You can find everything regarding safe and legal drone flying in Austria here: www.dronespace.at/ Keep in mind that the regulations are changing from 1.1.2021. Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

[@tspiv]

I want to go..

[@Traxxler]

sehr hohe qualität das video! ich würd auch gern viel mehr wandern gehn aber ich kenn kaum leute die mitgehen würden. Irgendwelche tipps wie man leicht welche kennenlernen kann? oder eürdest du einfach empfehlen alleine zu gehen? :)

[@bugsandbears]

Hi! Danke das freut uns sehr! Hast du dich schonmal nach Facebook-Gruppen umgeschaut? Such dort mal nach "Wandern in ..." Ein guter Tipp sind auch lokale Ortsgruppen von Bergvereinen (zB Naturfreunde, Alpenverein) - da gibt's viele wandermotivierte Mitglieder und auch immer wieder organisierte Wanderungen. Alleine Loswandern hat natürlich auch was und da gibt's viele Fans davon! Da haben wir selbst weniger Erfahrung, aber würden uns natürlich freuen, wenn du uns erzählst wie's war, wenn du mal eine Tour startest! Liebe Grüße aus dem Salzkammergut! Doris & Matthias

[@walkingtwobytwo7122]

Fantastic 👏🏼 what a finish to the trail. That view was outstanding. We hike many long distance trails especially through Europe you can check us out for ideas if you like. 👣👣

[@bugsandbears]

Awesome channel! Always good to have a hiking channel for Europe at hand! Keep it up! Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻‍🦰

Lieber David! Danke fürs Feedback! Viele unserer Zuseher sind auf der ganzen Welt verstreut und verstehen kein Deutsch. Deshalb sprechen wir in den meisten unserer Videos Englisch. Aber hier gibt's ein deutsches rauf zur Adamekhütte :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqqqq4RtirZsaZI
