Few countries reward exploration by foot like Austria. The land of Mozart is blessed with a web of well-signposted trails criss-crossing its valleys and mountain tops, so it is no surprise that hiking is said to be Austria’s unofficial national pastime.
For hikers looking for easy walking trails with good food and wine, the Wachau World Heritage trail offers a wonderful week of exploration among the rolling hills, castles and vineyards of the Danube river valley.
For experienced hikers, the Austrian Alps offer some of the most exhilarating mountain walking in Europe, with spectacular scenery among the jagged peaks, glittering lakes and pristine Alpine valleys of the awesome Dachstein mountain range. The Dachstein circuit is a classic long-distance trail with epic mountain views, while the Schladminger Tauern high route is a section of the Central Alpine Trail and one of the most beautiful hiking tours to be found anywhere in the Alps.
