… is the motto of Nationalparks Austria and recently I got the chance to visit one of them, in cooperation with Instagramers Austria (a loose community of hobby photographers who gather through Instagram and Facebook groups). The national park Gesäuse in the Styrian alps is dominated by lots of water, rugged mountains, natural forests but also cozy mountain huts with traditional delicacies. And although the weather has been rather on the gloomy side we enjoyed an interesting guided tour and great hospitality!
Which national park would you like to visit?

Great to hear that! I should definitely spend more time in nature 😉
That’s a great motto, and looking through your pictures, I can see why!
I love the motto too! Thank you!
What a beautiful place! Tried to pronounce the name of the park in my head, but my tongue was curling up. Love the cow picture:)
Haha and I thought German is very similar to Danish 😉 They cowes were really cute and looked very happy up there!
This is ‘exactly’ what I thought Austria would look like. Beautiful scenery which includes that sweet home and those gorgeous cows. Stunning photos Julia!!
Unfortunately the weather has been typical Austrian too 😉 We enjoyed nevertheless. Thank you!
I think gloomy days is great for hikes since there’s no glaring sun lol. And the mountain hut is so cute!

You’re right! At least nobody got sunburnt that day 😉
Beautiful photos! Looks like such a fun place. And, I want to see cows 🙂 So cute!
Thank you for stopping by! Yeah the cows were really cute ❤️
oh my i feel like my eye sight just got 10x better haha so much green! so hard to come across here in bangkok… amazing!
Haha I agree, the green does feel nice! Especially when you escape from the city 😉
so schön! das saftige grün! ich würde bei sowas ja auch zu gern mal mitkommen aber irgendwie hats bisher noch nicht sollen sein.
Leider werden diese Events meist recht kurzfristig bekannt gegeben! Aber es werden mit Instagramers Austria noch alle anderen Nationalparks besucht, also einfach die Augen offen halten 😉
ja, das ist mir auch schon aufgefallen. irgendwann wirds schon mal klappen 🙂
Absolutely beautiful photos! Looks so peaceful and relaxing. Must have been a nice escape!
Thanks Waz! I love the city but just as much I love to escape them 🙂
Agreed! I’m a city girl too, but getting away from time to time is such a relief. Good to have that balance!
Ah wie schön! In ein paar Wochen geht es für mich auch wieder in die Berge nach Österreich. Bei deinen Bildern könnte ich glatt sofort los! 🙂
Oh cool wohin denn? Ich würde am liebsten auch sofort wieder in meine Wanderschuhe schlüpfen 😉
Ins Ötztal. Hoffentlich spielt das Wetter bis dahin mit. 🙂
Das Titelfoto mit dem Nebel sieht wunderschön aus. Die Berge haben schon was; letzten Herbst auf meinem Burgen Roadtrip war es genau so schön neblig. 🙂
Herzlich,
Anna
Stimmt, ich war am Anfang zwar etwas enttäuscht dass die Sonne nicht rauskam, aber so war die Stimmung eigentlich auch recht schön 🙂
I love the photos of the cows!
