Because why dream of faraway places&#8230;? \u201cI was looking for a training route that, if possible, would be exclusively in the mountains, away from busy roads and about as long as the distance from Salzburg to Monaco. After a little research it was clear: The border of Salzburg is the perfect route! It runs over the most beautiful and highest mountains in Austria, always along the ridges and stretches over a length of almost 800 km. I live in Hallein, from where the next border stone is only 1.5 km away. So it&rsquo;s perfect to start the tour directly from my front door! You can also choose the \u00b4intensity of the challenge\u00b4&#8230; for me the borderline was like an infinite number of turnpoints, and the more I could reach the better,\u201d says Paul.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Grenzgang_Full-Track.png&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Grenzgang_Nicolas_Holtzmeyer-07175.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_video _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dWngeVosfUM&amp;t=36s&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<h4>&laquo;&nbsp;ADVENTURE IS IN OUR POWER&nbsp;&raquo;<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<p>It began in the middle of July. It was 5 pm when Paul left his apartment. Equipped with a sleeping bag and some food, his first small challenge was to climb the south ridge of the Bamstoa with his 17-kilo backpack. \u201cNormally this is no problem, but now it was immediately clear that this heavy backpack would be the biggest challenge&#8230;\u201d he adds. At sunset Paul reaches the Untersberg, with its beautiful view down to the city of Salzburg, where he unpacks his sleeping bag and covers himself with his paraglider. If the wind is right in the morning, he plans to glide as far north as possible, where his wife will bring him his mountain bike so that he can cycle the 150 km borderline around the &lsquo;flat&rsquo; part of Salzburg. The plan works out and after a strenuous day on the bike with more than 3000 vertical meters covered, Paul arrives at the foot of the Schober. From there he plans to continue the next day on foot and with the paraglider along the border towards the south, to the main ridge of the Alps. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<p>The weather still plays along well on this day and Paul succeeds in flying over 100 km, far into the high mountains, up to the Reiteralm. \u201cIn the beginning I got a bit off track and had to land in the best flying conditions because I just couldn&rsquo;t follow the border anymore. Then I had to think about a lot of things and I had to make some basic considerations and decisions for myself. It was clear that it will not be possible to follow the border all the time while flying. The thermals and the wind do not cooperate in this respect and are often found a few hundred meters away from the borderline. If I wanted to finish the project in a time similar to a Red Bull X-Alps competition time (around 10-14 days), then I would have to fly and make this compromise! In the end, apart from an adventure, I want to leave a track that clearly shows the state of Salzburg!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Grenzgang_Nicolas_Holtzmeyer-07392.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<h4>&laquo;&nbsp;IF YOU STOP, YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT ANY FURTHER&nbsp;&raquo;<\/h4>\n<p>Days four to eight were characterized by bad weather and strong winds. Flying was out of the question, unfortunately in one of the most remote areas of Salzburg where he planned his first crossing of the Alps and the Lungau. \u201cTo spend five days in the mountains, in the clouds, in the rain, and sometimes without a road and travelling alone, was an enormous physical and mental challenge. But with the clearly defined route and my own front door as my goal, my motivation was consistently high,\u201d says Paul. \u201cAnd the experience was incredibly beautiful! Almost no people and one deserted summit after the other!\u201d In these days alone Paul covers 13,000 vertical meters and 150 kilometers on foot.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_3&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-54.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_3&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-73.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_3&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-317.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<h4>&laquo;&nbsp;DREAMS INFLUENCE OUR FUTURE&nbsp;&raquo;<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThere was a section of my route where it was clear that I had to fly! The Hohe Tauern National Park starts at the Katschberg and stretches westwards to the border of Italy &#8211; and there take-off and landing is no longer allowed. So I had to fly and from the beginning I wished for the right weather in this section &#8211; and my wish came true!\u201d. On the ninth day Paul takes off for one of his most beautiful flights directly along the main ridge of the Alps, past spectacular peaks like Hochalmspitze, Sonnblick and Gro\u00dfglockner. The conditions are perfect and so Paul can cover the 100 km along the highest mountains of the Austrian Alps in only five hours. \u201cIt would have taken me five days on foot for this section&#8230;\u201d adds Paul. But now it was time to continue on foot again, because the next destination was the 3657m high summit of the Gro\u00dfvenediger, the highest point of Salzburg. Some friends came to his aid, among them his long-time Red Bull X-Alps supporter Werner Strittl. \u201cWerner is a very good friend of mine and also a mountain guide. There were some glaciated sections and high mountains to conquer and I was very happy to have his help! We spent two very cool days together in the mountains before I went on alone again&#8230;\u201d Paul explains. Unfortunately, the two of them couldn&rsquo;t climb the Dreiherrenspitze, the westernmost, highest peak flanking the border triangle of East Tyrol, Salzburg and Italy, as planned, because Werner got pain in his foot. But we&rsquo;ll make up for it, we agreed,\u201d Paul adds.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; db_image_max_width_tablet=&nbsp;&raquo;51&Prime; db_image_max_height_tablet=&nbsp;&raquo;501&Prime; db_image_row_spacing_tablet=&nbsp;&raquo;51&Prime; db_image_object_fit=&nbsp;&raquo;initial&nbsp;&raquo; hover_overlay_color=&nbsp;&raquo;rgba(255,255,255,0.66)&nbsp;&raquo; db_image_center_titles=&nbsp;&raquo;left&nbsp;&raquo; gallery_ids=&nbsp;&raquo;30763,30754,30760,30757&Prime; fullwidth=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<h4>&laquo;&nbsp;TAKING IT AS IT COMES&nbsp;&raquo;<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cNothing was free: I had to work hard for everything\u201d, says Paul as he looks back on the last days of his adventure. \u201cOn the 12th day I thought for a moment that I could almost make it home by flying, but the wind was much stronger than predicted and the conditions in the air were challenging! From where I landed at the end of the day, my home was only 30km away as the crow flies, but at this point the border makes another turn over 55km of extremely remote and difficult high plateaus. On a good flying day you can do this in a few hours, but on foot you walk through a labyrinth of rocks for several days&#8230;and the weather forecast was anything but good. After 13 days on the road, this moment of realizing what lies ahead was the low point for my moral,\u201d Paul explains.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-39.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;1_2&Prime;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-101.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<p>So he put one foot in front of the other and poured on the ambition! \u201cIt was simply time to put a successful end to it all\u201d, he adds. \u201cAfter an unbelievable 17-hour day and a short night high up at the Steinernes Meer above Saalfelden, there was &lsquo;only&rsquo; the crossing of the Hagengebirge and the crossing of the Hoher G\u00f6ll ahead of me. My food was used up and my only chance was to ask a friend to join the seven-hour march to meet me on the way and help me out. It was all arranged. I got up with the first rays of sunshine and the plan was to glide north from a saddle towards him before the rain came! But at this point, unfortunately, it was impossible to think of launching. The wind was too strong and it blew from the wrong direction. So I had no choice but to climb further up, along the rocky and impassable ridge.<\/p>\n<p>At the top, the bad weather front was already very close and the wind was borderline strong &#8211; but it came from the right direction. It was eight in the morning and I was in the middle of nowhere and had to make a decision. I observed the situation for about 15 minutes and then decided to launch. In the rocks there is a slight danger of getting stuck with a line and tearing it. Besides, the strong wind can lift you up and catapult you into the rocks&#8230;\u201d explains Paul.<\/p>\n<p>But everything went well and Paul had one of the most spectacular flights of his life. \u201cIt went relatively gently and constantly upwards and I was able to fly high 30 kilometers in one hour high above the K\u00f6nigssee over the endless stone desert, Berchtesgaden and the G\u00f6ll to Hallein! It was an incredible experience and a huge relief! My wife Magdalena was already waiting for us with our son at the landing site and we both could hardly believe it&#8230; We walked home together and the adventure was over. Just like that. It can go so fast when you&rsquo;re flying a paraglider&#8230;&rsquo; Paul reports relieved.<\/p>\n<p>His friend, who tried to meet him with the food, didn&rsquo;t hold it against him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime; src=&nbsp;&raquo;https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-408.jpg&nbsp;&raquo; show_in_lightbox=&nbsp;&raquo;on&nbsp;&raquo; \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skywalkparagliders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skywalk Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skywalk.paragliders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skywalk Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paulguschlbauer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Guschlbauer<\/a><\/p>\n<pre>All photos by:<br \/><br \/>Philipp Reiter @philippreiter007<br \/><br \/>Nicolas Holtzmeyer @nico_blkorwht<\/pre>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section bb_built=&nbsp;&raquo;1&Prime;][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&nbsp;&raquo;4_4&Prime;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&nbsp;&raquo;3.19.5&Prime;] &laquo;&nbsp;BORDERS CAN ALSO BE WAYS&nbsp;&raquo; Paul Guschlbauer&rsquo;s perfect Red Bull X-Alps training track was defined exactly 100 years ago, with the defining of the border of Salzburg and its incorporation as a federal state into the Republic of Austria. \u201cI couldn&rsquo;t have thought of a more exciting route\u201d, Paul confesses. \u201cAfter [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":30783,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p>[et_pb_section bb_built=\"1\"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.19.5\"]<\/p><h4>\"GRENZEN K\u00d6NNEN AUCH WEGE SEIN\"<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Paul Guschlbauers perfekte Red Bull X-Alps Trainingsstrecke wurde vor genau 100 Jahren, mit der Festlegung der Grenze Salzburgs und der Eingliederung als Bundesland in die Republik \u00d6sterreich, definiert. \u2018Ich h\u00e4tte mir keine spannendere Route ausdenken k\u00f6nnen\u2019 gesteht Paul.<\/p><p>\u2018Nachdem mir die Ma\u00dfnahmen der Bundesregierung meinen Plan, im Sommer ein Hike&Fly Training quer durch \u00d6sterreich, Schweiz, Italien und Frankreich- also von Salzburg nach Monaco- zu machen, durch diverse Grenzschlie\u00dfungen, vereitelt hat, musste eine neue Idee her\u2026\u2019 und das war laut Paul im Nachhinein das Beste was passieren konnte! Denn warum in die Ferne schweifen\u2026?\u00a0<\/p><p>\u2018Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Trainingsroute die, wenn m\u00f6glich, ausschlie\u00dflich in den Bergen, abseits von vielbefahrenen Stra\u00dfen verl\u00e4uft und in etwa so lang ist wie die Strecke von Salzburg nach Monaco. Nach ein wenig Recherche war klar: Die Grenze Salzburg ist die perfekte Route! Sie verl\u00e4uft \u00fcber die sch\u00f6nsten und h\u00f6chsten Berge \u00d6sterreichs, immer den Bergr\u00fccken entlang und erstreckt sich \u00fcber eine L\u00e4nge von knappen 800 km.

Zum Sonnenuntergang erreicht Paul dann den Untersberg, mit wundersch\u00f6nem Blick hinunter auf die Stadt Salzburg packt er den Schlafsack aus und deckt sich mit seinem Gleitschirm zu. Wenn der Wind in der Fr\u00fch passt, m\u00f6chte er gleich in der Fr\u00fch so weit wie m\u00f6glich Richtung Norden gleiten, wo ihm seine Frau sein Mountainbike bringen wird und Paul die 150km Grenzl\u00e4nge um den \u2018flachen\u2019 Teil Salzburgs mit dem Rad zur\u00fcck legen m\u00f6chte. Der Plan geht auf und nach einem anstrengenden Tag am Bike mit \u00fcber 3000 zur\u00fcckgelegten H\u00f6henmetern, kommt Paul am Fu\u00df des Schober an, von wo aus es am n\u00e4chsten Tag wieder zu Fu\u00df und mit dem Gleitschirm weiter entlang der Grenze Richtung S\u00fcden, Richtung Alpenhauptkamm gehen soll.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.19.5\"]<\/p><p>Das Wetter spielt an diesem Tag noch sehr gut mit und es gelingt Paul ein Flug \u00fcber 100km, weit hinein in die hohen Berge, bis zur Reiteralm. \u2018Am Anfang bin ich etwas von meiner Strecke abgekommen und musste bei besten Flugbedingungen landen, weil ich der Grenze fliegend einfach nicht mehr folgen konnte. Da ist mir dann einiges durch den Kopf gegangen und ich musste einige grundlegende \u00dcberlegungen und Entscheidungen f\u00fcr mich selbst treffen. Es war klar, dass es nicht m\u00f6glich sein wird der Grenze fliegend immer zu folgen. Die Thermik und der Wind kooperieren diesbez\u00fcglich nicht und sind oft einige hundert Meter von der Grenzlinie entfernt zu finden. Wenn ich das Projekt in einer Zeit abschlie\u00dfen wollte, die \u00e4hnlich einer Red Bull X-Alps Wettbewerbs-Zeit liegt (also um die 10-14 Tage) dann musste ich fliegen und diesen Kompromiss eingehen!

Leider konnten die beiden die Dreiherrenspitze, den westlichsten, h\u00f6chsten Gipfel, der das Dreil\u00e4ndereck Osttirol, Salzburg und Italien flankiert, nicht wie geplant besteigen, da Werner Schmerzen am Fu\u00df bekam. \u2018Aber den holen wir nach, da waren wir uns einig!\u2019 f\u00fcgt Paul hinzu.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery _builder_version=\"3.19.5\" db_image_max_width_tablet=\"51\" db_image_max_height_tablet=\"501\" db_image_row_spacing_tablet=\"51\" db_image_object_fit=\"initial\" hover_overlay_color=\"rgba(255,255,255,0.66)\" db_image_center_titles=\"left\" gallery_ids=\"30762,30753,30759,30756\" fullwidth=\"on\" \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.19.5\"]<\/p><h4>\"ES KOMMT WIE ES KOMMEN SOLL\"<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u2018In den n\u00e4chsten Tagen hab ich nichts geschenkt bekommen\u2019 sagt Paul als er die letzten Tage seines Abenteuers Revue passieren l\u00e4sst. \u2018Am 12. Tag habe ich kurz geglaubt, dass ich es eventuell fliegerisch bis fast nach Hause schaffen k\u00f6nnte, doch der Wind war viel st\u00e4rker als vorhergesagt und die Bedingungen in der Luft waren anspruchsvoll! Von da wo ich am Ende des Tages gelandet bin, war mein Zuhause nur 30km Luftlinie entfernt, doch an dieser Stelle macht die Grenze noch einmal einen Bogen und f\u00fchrt nochmal \u00fcber 55km extrem abgelegene und schwierige Hochplateaus. An einem guten Flugtag ist das in wenigen Stunden erledigt aber zu Fu\u00df geht man mehrere Tage lang durch ein Labyrinth aus Felsen...und die Wettervorhersage war alles andere als gut. Nach 13 Tagen unterwegs, war dieser Moment des Realisierens\u00a0was jetzt noch vor mir liegt mein moralischer Tiefpunkt.\u2019 erkl\u00e4rt Paul.\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.19.5\" src=\"https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-39.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.19.5\" src=\"https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-101.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.19.5\"]<\/p><p>Doch er hat einen Schritt vor den anderen gesetzt und mit noch mehr Ehrgeiz reagiert! \u2018Es war einfach Zeit dem Ganzen ein erfolgreiches Ende zu setzen\u2019 f\u00fcgt er hinzu.<\/p><p>\u2018Ein unglaublicher 17 Stunden Tag und eine kurze Nacht hoch oben am Steinernen Meer \u00fcber Saalfelden sp\u00e4ter und es lag \u2018nur noch\u2019 die Durchquerung des Hagengebirges und die \u00dcberschreitung des Hohen G\u00f6ll vor mir\u2026 Mein Essen war aufgebraucht und meine einzige Chance war einen Freund zu bitten den sieben st\u00fcndigen Marsch anzutreten um mich am Weg zu treffen und mir aus der Patsche zu helfen. Es war alles ausgemacht. Ich bin mit den ersten Sonnenstrahlen aufgestanden und der Plan war ihm von einem Sattel in Richtung Norden entgegen zu gleiten bevor der Regen kommt! Doch an ein Starten war an diesem Punkt leider nicht zu denken. Der Wind war zu stark und ist au\u00dferdem aus der falschen Richtung gekommen. Somit ist mir nichts anderes \u00fcbrig geblieben als weiter hinauf zu steigen, dem felsigen und unwegsamen Grat entlang. Oben angekommen, war die Schlechtwetterfront schon sehr nahe und der Wind war grenzwertig stark- ist jedoch aus der richtigen Richtung gekommen. Es war acht in der Fr\u00fch und ich war tats\u00e4chlich in \u2018the middle of nowhere\u2019 und musste eine Entscheidung treffen. Ich habe die Situation f\u00fcr ca. 15 Minuten beobachtet und mich dann entschlossen einen Start zu wagen. In den Felsen besteht leicht die Gefahr dass man mit einer Leine h\u00e4ngen bleibt und sie rei\u00dft. Au\u00dferdem kann einen der starke Wind ausheben und unsanft in die Steine katapultieren\u2026\u2019 erkl\u00e4rt Paul. Doch es ist alles gut gegangen und Paul hatte einen der spektakul\u00e4rsten Fl\u00fcge seines Lebens. \u2018 Es ist relativ sanft und konstant nach oben gegangen und ich konnte hoch \u00fcber dem K\u00f6nigssee \u00fcber die endlose Steinw\u00fcste, Berchtesgaden und den G\u00f6ll in einer Stunde 30 Kilometer bis nach Hallein fliegen!! Das war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis und eine unglaubliche Erleichterung! Meine Frau Magdalena hat uns mit unserem Sohn bereits am Landeplatz erwartet und wir konnten es beide fast nicht glauben\u2026 Wir sind dann zusammen gem\u00fctlich nach Hause spaziert und das Abenteuer war wieder zu Ende. Einfach so. Weil so schnell kanns gehen, wenn man mit einem Gleitschirm unterwegs ist\u2026\u2019 berichtet Paul erleichtert.<\/p><p>Sein Freund, der versucht hat ihn mit dem Essen zu treffen, hats ihm nicht \u00fcbel genommen.<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.19.5\" src=\"https:\/\/skywalk.info\/files\/2020\/09\/Paul-Guschlbauer_SalzburgUmrundung_c-Philipp-Reiter-408.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.19.5\"]<\/p><hr \/><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skywalkparagliders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skywalk Instagram<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skywalk.paragliders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skywalk Facebook<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paulguschlbauer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Guschlbauer<\/a><\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48,307,102,68,260],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
