Wild Water: Ysperklamm (Ysper Gorge)

avatar

I hope after my latest posts from the Dolomites you don't think that I have forgotten my love for waterfalls. Of course, there will be more posts from the Dolomites in the next weeks and months, but not today because it's time for some new waterfalls 😉

Ysperklamm
Wild Water

So, in mid September I drove north without much of a plan, to be honest, and on my way I thought about the lakes and waterfalls I could visit. Many lakes, but only a few places with waterfalls, so I made the decision to drive to the Ysperklamm (Ysper is the name of the river running through the Ysper valley and Klamm = gorge) in Lower Austria where I haven't been before, but it's a place that I have heard a lot of.

On my way to the Ysperklamm in Lower Austria I visited the well known and usually very well visited lake Almsee which I surprisingly had completely for me alone. The weather was more dark and rainy/snowy and I haven't taken many photos, but I'll make a post about my walk around the lake sometime in future when I have edited all photos.

The night before and on my way to the gorge it has been snowing, and so a little Winter Wonderland was waiting for me when I arrived at the parking lot in the afternoon after a 300 km / 186 miles drive.

Somehow I like this long exposure image of some white foam on the brown water.

And it was just as I love it when I visit an area for the first time - no other people have been around. Of course there were many foot steps from other visitors on the path, but because it was already getting darker, they had gone. Only one other photographer crossed my way, and after a little funny smalltalk I have been alone again.

What a beautiful place and there's so much to explore. The path runs about 2 kilometers / 1.24 miles along the river with many wooden stairs and steps and lovely cascades and waterfalls to see. The snow added nicely to the scene and made the brown water looking even better (due to the high content of humic acid and the high iron content, the water in the Ysper Gorge turns brownish).

Most of the waterfalls are not very high, so this place is more for taking detail photos of the water with a telephoto lens - intimate landscape photography - and of course to enjoy the walk through a mossy forest along a lovely river.

The weeks before Christmas and the the first weeks of the new year are usually the busiest days of the year, so I have had a very busy week and was offline most of the time, even at home, but today was a bit easier and I have found some time to make this short post inbetween while waiting for email responses and such 😉

As Christmas is just around the corner and I don't think I will be online much in the next few days, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas - may there be many gifts under the tree and may you have a wonderful time with your loved ones.

Waterfall, oh waterfall, you tinkle your songs to my ears.
A new lyric line that I just made up 😊 !LOLZ

Another wonderful post Hannes and the images really talk to one's imagination.
They are all fabulous shots and I won't tell you that I told you so, but going out without a plan is great, as then Mother nature will take over and lead one to exquisite places such as this one.

Great photos and a Merry Christmas also to you guys from both of us.

Zac.

Our Christmas day is tomorrow, December 24, but I am working a 24-hour shift and so my family will visit me in the office and we'll have our Christmas dinner at lunchtime on Sunday. In the afternoon and evening we'll visit my wife's family and on Monday we might drive to my parents, but we are not sure yet.

On Tuesday Christmas is over and we will go back to work 😁 !LOLZ

So, tomorrow I'll have some time to go online, but on Sunday and Monday I'll mostly be offline, I believe.

A great deal for the family to visit you at work my friend.
Btw. Christmas day is on the 25th and maybe you guys celebrate it on Christmas eve.
Surely you also have to see your parents during this time methinks.

Soon the back to work story will be no more for you, so I don't know why you are moaning 🤣 !LOLZ

On line, or off line, so be it my friend as you have to do what you have to do.
You know what I will say here 😉

Cheers and thanks.

They have left just before and now I have time to do my replies 😉

You're right with Christmas day, my friend, and we celebrate on Christmas eve (Heiligabend).
We'll visit my parents either on Monday or next weekend.

Don't use the word "soon" when it still lasts years 🤣 !LOLZ

If I'm not too tired when we get home I'll go online, but I'll see then.

Great and I hope that you enjoyed their visit. Now I hope that you sit with your mouth full of cake as you do the replies 😁 LOLZ

Great to hear. Over here Heiligabend is "Heilige nag" in Afrikaans and "Holy night" in English.
There is a song called Holy Night that I like.
Maybe you can see the New Year in with your parents next Sunday, as it will be the 1st of January 🙏

Here we go again! A long time ago I told you that it will be only a few years and now, look how much closer you are. The new year will fly by exactly the same as the other years and before you know it we will be in the last year. Remember only Lady Patience 😁 !LOLZ

You are a real sleepy head!

Cheers and thanks.

They brought me a traditional Christmas food: sausage and sauerkraut - lekker 😋

Holy Night = Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht - one of the few traditional songs that I like a lot too.

I know 2023 will fly and then it's time to start counting the months or even weeks 🤣

I didn't go online till now back at work, but you might have noticed that anyway 😉 !LOLZ

Sausage and sauerkraut are indeed very nice and I like it also with some mashed potatoes 😉

Yep, Holy Night and also the other one, "Oh Holy Night, the lyrics start with "Holy night, the stars were brightly shining"

Yep, and as usual counting the months very impatiently and moaning all of the way 🤣

I have most certainly noticed 😜 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

It's a traditional Christmas food where I have grown up and sometimes we have fried potatoes with it.

I know the other one too, but don't know the German version of it.

I wasn't sure, so I wanted to tell you 👉🤣 !LOLZ

Maybe it originated as a German food during the war years, as there was not much else to eat.
We had pap (stiff porridge) and spinach served here during the war years and it is still a favorite today.

There should be a German version as it is a famous song. A guy wrote one of the songs on his death bed in hospital in the 18 hundreds, but I can't remember which song he wrote.

I don't know what it is that you weren't sure about, but it doesn't sound bad 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Maybe - it's traditional Christmas food in many parts of our country.

I haven't found the German version but Mariah Carey isn't too bad either - I think I would prefer this version to a German one 😉

Never mind, I also forgot 😂 !LOLZ

Over here it is also popular in the German communities 😉

Thank you for reminding me how well Maria Carey sings this Hannes!
This is indeed the best version that I think is out there.

Well, as long as we don't forget our names, I think that we will be okay 😁 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Wine coloured water flowing through here with some leaves from recent fall caught in between, moss with snow makes a cheerful picture of Winters approach and end of the year.

Lovely photography, better knowing you had walk mostly to yourself. Nice going through recent photography taken keeping yourself busy on busy days while waiting.

!LUV to You and Yours for a wonderful Festive Season together, don't eat too much!

It's a really nice place there and I want to go back there soon, because by now the waterfalls might be frozen.

Thank you so much for your nice compliments on my photos and for the kind wishes, Joan, I'm wishing you also a Merry Christmas and hope you'll have a happy and peaceful time with your beloved ones 😊

I'm only eating some Christmas cookies my wife has made, but not too many, I promise 😋 !LOLZ

Amazing shots of the waterfalls, Hannes. Seeing the brown water reminds me of how the lakes and ocean look here after a storm has riled up the water showing the red sand below.

I hope you are not working constantly and have time to enjoy some of the holiday season. I was at my sister’s home for Christmas and just returned late yesterday. A short but enjoyable visit.

All the best to you and your family, dear Hannes. 🤗 🎉

Hi Jo,
thanks so much kindly for your nice compliments 😊

In short: no, I didn't work much at the end of 2022 - we met with my wife's family on Dec 25th, got the flu and laid in bed till the New Year was here 🤣 !LOLZ

I'm wishing you and your Hubby all the best, Healthiness and Luck for 2023 🙏😊
