Thanks for the quick answer.

Appreciated. Alto I'd like such feature :)
Now I, obviously, get to manually calculate the costs for the alternate
paths..
But what the heck...I have to do something to earn my paycheck :)

Best regards

Hi,

No, there is no way to see the alternate paths. You can take a look into
the LSA's and see which alternate node advertised the prefix, but this
doesn't give you what you're looking for. 
When we perform the SPF algorithm, only the best path(s) are entered
into the RIB, the alternate paths are discarded.

In IOS' ISIS implementation, there is a hidden knob
("display-route-detail") which shows you the backup paths (rather: the
LSP which contains it and the metric), but we don't do this for OSPF, as
far as I know.
