Welcome to Alpenwelt Karwendel! These two mountain bikers have had a good laugh. They are returning from a break at Vereiner Alm. In the deep south of Germany, at the border with Austria, a pleasant valley with undula- ting meadows, lakes and streams extends between rocky peaks, forested mountain flanks and hills. Alpenwelt Karwendel with the three Upper Bavarian municipalities of Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau is surrounded by four mountain massifs: the Karwendel mountains and the Soiern group to the East, the Ester mountains to the North and the Wetterstein mountains to the South-West. Because of this, the region is the ideal starting point for all kinds of mountain bike and cycling tours. If you like to take it easy, you can linger in the valley between the flower meadows, lakes and the expansive river landscape of the Isar with its shingle and gravel banks. If you prefer the forested foothills, explore the Ester mountains and the Soiern group with their shady forest roads and single trails.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • 24.062012 24.06.2012 Die Besten Fünf: Exkursions
    Die besten Fünf Exkursions- und Ausflugsziele aus den Regionen der ARGE ALP Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Alpenländer www.argealp.org VORWORT Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Alpenländer (ARGE ALP) umfasst die Regionen, Kantone und Länder Bayern, Graubünden, Lombardei, Salzburg, St. Gallen, Südtirol, Tessin, Tirol, Trentino und Vorarlberg. Als erste grenzüberschreitende Vereini- gung von Regionen ebnete sie den Weg für ein neues Selbstbewusstsein der Regionen in Europa. Seit ihrer Gründung 1972 setzen sich die Mitglieder für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung ihrer alpinen Heimat ein. Der Vorsitz wechselt jährlich. Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung präsentiert für jeden Partner in der ARGE ALP (ausgenommen die Lombardei) fünf herausragende Ausflugs- bzw. Exkursionsziele für Schulklassen, Jugendgruppen usw. Sie ist eine Handreichung für LehrerInnen, JugendgruppenleiterInnen usw. Ziel dieses Projektes ist es, das Bewusstsein für unseren gemeinsamen Lebensraum Alpen bereits in jungen Jahren zu entwickeln. Gleichzeitig soll die grenzüberschreitende pädagogische Zusammenarbeit und der Kontakt auf Arbeitsebene zwischen den zuständigen Institutionen gefördert werden. Die Regierungschefkonferenz der ARGE ALP hat das Projekt im Juni 2008 unter bayerischem Vorsitz beschlossen. Um Wiederholungen zu vermeiden und auf überall Gültiges hinzuweisen, wird den regionalen Vorschlägen ein allge- meiner Teil vorangestellt. Dort werden allgemeine Grundverhaltensregeln für die Alpen, eine sinnvolle Ausrüstung für Bergwanderungen beschrieben sowie anhand einer international gültigen Skala der Schwierigkeitsgrad der einzelnen Wanderstrecken definiert. Die Beiträge selbst spiegeln inhaltlich und teilweise auch sprachlich die Vielfalt des Lebensraumes Alpen wieder. Sie gliedern sich in der Regel in eine Kurzbeschreibung, infrastrukturelle Informationen („technische Details“) und eine fach- liche und didaktische Aufbereitung des Angebots. Generell kann aber kein Beitrag die individuelle Vorbereitung eines Ausflugs bzw. einer Exkursion ersetzen. Er soll vielmehr ein Vorschlag sein und Anregungen geben.

  • The Achensee Region – Paradise for Nature Lovers and Holidaymakers in the Heart of Tirol
    Presse-Info Achensee, Tirols Sport & Vitalpark Winter & Summer 2018 and 2019 The Achensee region – paradise for nature lovers and holidaymakers in the heart of Tirol. Nestled in the breathtaking scenery of the Rofan and Karwendel Mountains is Tirol’s largest lake – Lake Achensee. The region around this natural gem is renowned for its unrivalled scenic beauty, while its wide range of sporting and leisure activities make it an enticing destination for visitors. Since the Achensee region was first opened up to tourists, it has become one of the most popular destinations for holidays and excursions in Tirol. In 1887 the first steam ship, the St. Josef, cast off onto the lake and the resultant Achensee Shipping Company remains a tourist magnet to this day. The same is also true of the historical Achensee railway. Every summer, year after year, this steam-powered cog railway puffs its way from Jenbach station towards Achensee, covering an incredible 400 metres in altitude over 6.7 km, with a maximum gradient of around 16 %. The towns and villages dotted around Lake Achensee have also long been popular for winter tourism. Gently undulating hills are particularly suitable for family skiing, while an extensive network of cross-country trails has helped to build the region’s reputation as the best cross-country skiing area in Tirol. The Achensee region also became famous for its “black gold” – Tiroler Steinöl®. This fossil oil has been mined in the region for over a century and has been used in the treatment of a wide variety of ailments. Lake Achensee – the Tirolean fjord When looking out over the dark blue waters of Lake Achensee and its unparalleled mountain backdrop, comparison with the fjords of Norway springs immediately to mind.

  • Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H
    Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H. Herwig The University of Calgary Aggression Contained? The Federal Republic of Germany and International Security1 Two years ago, when I first proposed this topic, I had some trepidation about its relevance to current NATO policy. Forty-eight months of work on the topic and the rush of events especially in Central and East Europe since that time have convinced me both of its timeliness and of its relevance. Germany's role in SFOR in Bosnia since 1996, the very positive deployment of the German Army (Bundeswehr) in flood-relief work along the Oder River on the German- Polish border in the summer of 1997, and even the most recent revelations of neo-Nazi activity within the ranks of the Bundeswehr, have served only to whet my appetite for the project. For, I remain convinced that the German armed forces, more than any other, can be understood only in terms of Germany's recent past and the special military culture out of which the Bundeswehr was forged. Introduction The original proposal began with a scenario that had taken place in Paris in 1994. On that 14 July, the day that France annually sets aside as a national holiday to mark its 1789 Revolution, 189 German soldiers of the 294th Tank-Grenadier Battalion along with their twenty- four iron-crossed armoured personnel carriers for the first time since 1940 had marched down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. General Helmut Willmann's men had stepped out not to the tune of "Deutschland, 1 The research for this report was made possible by a NATO Research Fellowship.

  • From Trieste to Monaco a Hiking Trail to Discover the Eight Alpine Countries
    THE VIA ALPINA From Trieste to Monaco A hiking trail to discover the eight Alpine countries Project presentation February 2014 Via Alpina – Project presentation, February 2014 1 Via Alpina, right through the Alps… At the outset the area was immense and the project a truly ambitious one: to help discover a unique region of 200,000 square kilometres of peaks and valleys, of high mountain pastures and forests, of large villages and hamlets by creating THE definitive trail for hiking and the discovery of the entire Alpine space. Since 2002 the Via Alpina has been winding from Trieste (Italy) to Monaco, from the Adriatic sea to the Mediterranean, its 5000 kilometres of walking tracks marked out into 5 trails through eight European countries: Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France and the Principality of Monaco. It gives you an exceptional invitation to discover, on foot, through some of the most fabulous mountain landscapes, the history, culture and the way of life in the Alpine mountain communities. Via Alpina – Project presentation, February 2014 2 And first, a bit of history… 1991: a political will – The Alpine Convention is signed. An international Treaty ratified by eight countries – Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Liechtenstein and Monaco – and the European Union, with the shared objective of ensuring sustainable development of the entire Alpine region (see also page 12). 1999: a visionary project – On the initiative of the Grande Traversée des Alpes (a French association specialising in walking tourism) a project for a great transalpine walking trail is launched both as a symbolic link between the eight countries who have signed up to the Alpine Convention, as the cultural expression of the Alpine region and to support the development of sustainable tourism.
