ETHICAL SAFARIS: Lets talk about this topic! 🐘🦓🐆🦒 I spent much of yesterday posting stories about why it’s ethically irresponsible to take selfies with wildlife and pose with captive animals from so called „sanctuaries“. 📷 Following this heated discussion I decided to skip everything I had planned for today and instead wrote a comprehensive guide to ethical safaris 🦏 The guide goes into detail in these three areas: 1. Ethical wildlife practices: How to protect the wildlife we cherish 2. Ethical social practices: How to make sure people also benefit 3. Ecological practices: How to protect the ecosystems we visit Let me know what you think—you can find the article on www.thetravelblog.at!
TRAVEL GUIDE out now: 3 nights in #Ghent with @rom TRAVEL GUIDE out now: 3 nights in #Ghent with @romantikhotels (Advertisement) 🇧🇪 I just published my travel guide with all my tips for the often overlooked Flemish city of Ghent. Ghent in a nutshell: ▪️Canals, scenic waterways & cobblestone pathways ▪️Award-winning nightly illuminations ▪️Vegetarian Thursdays (invented 40 years ago!) ▪️Medieval, gothic and baroque architecture door to door ▪️Elegant hotels in historical palaces invite for boutique stays We stayed at the wonderful @the_verhaegen_experience - a boutique hotel in the former winter palace of Count and Countess D’Hane-Steenhuyze. A place that exemplifies Ghent and allows for a small peak into the glorious history of the 17th century in its meticulously restored salons and the manicured gardens. The Verhaegen is part of @romantikhotels - a collective of over 200 locally anchored hotels that focus on personalised services, culinary delights and historical and regional flavour. ♥️ They are currently celebrating their 50 year anniversary, which proves that their concept is as relevant today as it was decades ago. Today travellers are still looking for unique hotels, that don’t fit into a one-size-fits-all box and truly open the doors to authentic local experiences. Make sure to check out www.thetravelblog.at for the full story! #romantikhotel #romantikhotels #ghent #visitghent #theverhaegen
SAVE THIS PLACE for your next Austria trip 🇦🇹 I just returned from a weekend getaway in this iconic treehouse - just 1,5 hours drive from Vienna. What an architectural masterpiece, developed and designed by @chrisprecht for @studioprecht and built by @holzbaumaier. If you want to see more of their work check out @baumbau.at for the newest treehouses they are developing and building. We definitely need more of these in Austria (or anywhere really ☺️).
Throwback to our stay at @hygna_chalets (Advertise Throwback to our stay at @hygna_chalets (Advertisement). This was our first trip of the new year and had been planned for months in advance, so I kept checking the weather report like a maniac seeing if there would be snow. And just as we arrived the first tiny snowflakes started dancing in the wind. Soon after everything was covered in a layer of white! ❄️ The chalets are located about a hundred meters in elevation above the village and that’s what made the difference. While the Alpbach valley stayed green we woke up to the much proclaimed (and anticipated) winter wonderland the next morning. So as always, location matters. #hygna #hygnachalets #alpbach #alpbachtal #visittirol @visittirol #visitaustria @visitaustria
Happy semester break to my fellow Austrians! 🇦🇹 Many of you might not be aware how a travel photographers’ schedule works–but basically we’re bound to our homes in the main holiday seasons and have to produce outside of those times. When everyone’s on holiday then hotels and destinations aren’t looking for additional promotion and also don’t have capacities for productions. So while many of you are on vacation I’m at home post producing previous trips and preparing for the upcoming travels ☺️ Wishing you happy holidays, wether you’re skiing or escaped to warmer temperatures! 🫶🏼 The photos show the so called “Top of Alpbachtal”, a brandnew lookout tower at the highest point of the @skijuwelalpbachtalwildschonau skiing arena. #skijuwel #alpbach #topofalpbachtal #visittirol @visittirol @hygna_chalets
N E W: @laposch_dein_bergaway adults-only mountain N E W: @laposch_dein_bergaway adults-only mountain chalets in Tyrol (Advertisement) 🇦🇹 The family that runs LaPosch have been pioneers in Tyrol and opened their chalet village as the very first of that kind back in 2008. Fast forward to today the now 16 chalets have been transformed into an adults-only luxury getaway with a very individual touch. Their specialty is that they design each chalet individually themselves and work with their very own carpenter, who is employed exclusively for LaPosch. The atmosphere and style is cozy and rustic and the hotel-like services make a stay extremely comfortable. Find out what their pillow menu and in-Chalet dining options are like on thetravelblog.at now! #laposch #laposch_chalets #biberwier #ehrwald #zugspitzarena #zugspitzregion @visittirol #visittirol
A WINTER GETAWAY (Advertisement) ❄️ This trip A WINTER GETAWAY (Advertisement) ❄️ This trip kicked off the new year perfectly - and we even got welcomed with thick snow flakes. The brand new @hygna_chalets are located in a tucked away corner of the Alpbachtal region, a place famous for its innovation and as meeting point of global leaders. And this innovative approach also is tangible in the architecture and design philosophy of Hygna Chalets. You can find out more about the 11 chalets and the services you can expect now on the blog. Thanks also to my long term partner @mercedesbenz_austria for equipping us with this hyacinth red E 450 4MATIC All-Terrain beauty, that safely brought us up the mountains with a trunk full of skiing and snowboard equipment in comfort. #shesmercedes #hygna #hygnachalets #alpbach #visittirol #visitaustria
N E W: @hygna_chalets - where alpine traditions me N E W: @hygna_chalets - where alpine traditions meet contemporary design (Advertisement). When I first discovered these brand new chalets in the Alpbachtal region in Tyrol I immediately added them to my #Austria winter bucket list. For me a winter mountain escape needs to be secluded, with just a handful of rooms and lots of nature around. That’s about it! But a heated pool is definitely a very welcomed addition ☺️ The infinity pool in a former hay stable of the old farmhouse building at @hygna_chalets is one of the most incredible pools I’ve ever seen. Every detail is done to perfection here - from the wood craftsmanship to the modern design elements. Check out my full review of the chalets now on thetravelblog.at! #hygna #hygnachalets #alpbach #alpbachtal #alpbachtal_tirol #skijuwel #skijuwelalpachtalwildschönau @skijuwelalpbachtalwildschonau @visittirol #tirol #tyrol @visitaustria #visitaustria
Its finally really winter in Austria - with loads Its finally really winter in Austria - with loads of snow! ❄️ We just returned from two weeks in Tyrol’s mountains and with a renewed sense of gratitude for each inch of snow. This year the snow has kept us waiting for too long, but now that it’s finally here there’s this sense of wonder again. Waking up to a white landscape that’s suddenly dipping everything into a serene quiet and stillness - that’s always the most magical feeling for me. Needless to say I’d love to pack my winter boots again right now and return to the mountains right very now!
