austria’s hiking villages<br />
The magic of walking …<br />
Travelling on foot to Austria’s hiking villages<br />
The natural landscapes in the No 1 hiking country in Europe, Austria,<br />
are breathtaking and full of variety. The Austrians themselves are a<br />
charming people and warm-hearted hosts, who, in addition to old-fashioned<br />
values and high standards of quality, have “outstanding landscapes” right<br />
on their doorsteps – the perfect hiking holiday.<br />
For 17 years Austria’s hiking villages have served the best hiking<br />
regions in the Alps, from Bregenzerwald with its architecturally charming<br />
villages to Burgenland, where easy-going hikers feel particularly at<br />
home. Each of the 50 or so hiking destinations provides a unique<br />
experience. Many of them change with the seasons, from winter<br />
sports resort to enchanting summer mountain village. Not a trace<br />
of skiing, just the cable cars to remind you, and there to make the<br />
ascent so much easier.<br />
The magic of walking in Austria’s hiking villages is a harmony of pristine<br />
natural landscapes, hiking trails characterised by excellent signposting,<br />
“Brettljause”. An excursion into the mountains is not complete without a tasty<br />
Brettljause, all sorts of cold food served on a wooden platter. This dish strengthens<br />
the legs, and makes one fit for such a long hike. A typical Austrian Brettljause has<br />
bacon and farmhouse bread, but must also include a piece of cheese and smoked<br />
stunning natural attractions, original character and the natural lie<br />
of the land.<br />
