We are surrounded by the Austrian Alps and we hike as often as possible.<\/p>\n

In the Kleinwalsertal valley in Vorarlberg I tried some unusual hiking ideas you should also try at least once in your life. (bucket list alert)
\nAnd if you\u00b4ve never been there, well, then it\u00b4s time. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Barefoot Hiking at the Kleinwalsertal<\/h2>\n

I love being barefoot during summer but I never hiked barefoot. Our guide Florian Geis showed us the best places in the valley for walking barefoot while being mind-ful.<\/p>\n

After taking of my comfortable shoes<\/a>, we walked through the Schwarzwasserbach, a creek with ice cold mountain water.<\/p>\n

\"Barefoot<\/p>\n

While taking pictures and filming with the GoPro I lost my guest card after a minute in the water. Too bad it was too cold to get into the deeper water, where it sunk. With the guest card I was able taking the bus along the Kleinwalsertal for free. (Not anymore). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Barefoot<\/p>\n

With Elena, Fee and Lara I walked barefoot over little stones, through mud and moss. I really enjoyed it after my feet got used to the stony ground.<\/p>\n

Hiking barefoot was a relaxing feeling and after this experience with Florian from Wege zum Sein<\/a>\u00a0I\u00b4m sure I will hike and walk barefoot more often.<\/p>\n

Herb Workshop<\/h2>\n

After a warm morning walking barefoot the weather turned cold in a couple of hours. Hiking now with shoes again was shorter than planned. It started raining and Lydia was only able to show us a couple of herbs along the path. We had to start the herb workshop earlier but that wasn’t bad at all.<\/p>\n

We had more time making our own healing salve and a herbal peeling. I enjoyed watching Lydia making the products and loved it even more when I was able to cut and grind my own herbal products.<\/p>\n

It was a fun day at the Kleinwalsertal and I learned a lot. If you see me flying around one day on a broom don\u00b4t be surprised. Maybe I will be a (herb) witch soon too. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
