Extract of the hiking diary: „The Elisabeth-Path
or the pilgrim way of the last European“

Hiking stage 11th September 2023

Today I went to this place of the Elisabeth-Path for a very special reason. On 11.9.1983 the energy supply for this small electricity plant was destroyed by a century flood.

It probably has its reason that this small electricity plant still has an importance in the area of energy after 40 years. At this place “THE SMALLEST PRIVATE UNIVERSITY OF AUSTRIA” is located. It is the home of the “Department of Practical Physics”.

The smallest private university has probably the most beautiful auditorium in the middle of the Creator’s magnificent nature.

“Considering that science is only a matter of intellect we know that intellect is only one among several fundamental physical functions. The intellect is not sufficient for the creation of a general world view. This includes at least also the feeling. The feeling has in many cases other convictions than the intellect and it cannot always be proved that the convictions of the feeling are inferior to those of the intellect.” (Excerpt from the book “MY TESTAMENT, Part II – Dare to Think or the Terrestrial Truth”)

“Since the mathematicians fell over the theory of relativity, I myself don’t understand it any longer.”

These words are ascribed to Albert Einstein. How honest he was, that Einstein!

As we all know that a picture says more than thousend words, I have put these two photos into my hiking diary.

THE ULTIMATE JUDGE IS NATURE.

These words Nobel Prize winner Prof. Anton Zeilinger said at the Salzburg Festival Opening on 27.7.2023. Meanwhile everybody will probably understand these words, we feel them anyway already for a long time.

I had to take these lines out of my hiking diary, because 11th September is not just any day, for me at least.
