One of the most exciting adventures can be enjoyed while hiking along the Alpe-Adria trail. The renowned multi-stage trail starts at the highest mountain in Austria, the mighty Grossglockner mountain, leads past stunning landscapes, along rivers, creeks, gushing waterfalls, as you travel southwards all the way to the sea. Hike right across Carinthia, which in itself is stunning, and then continue on to Slovenia, a gem of nature and all the way to Bella Italia, and maybe even stop along the way at one of the turquoise-shimmering swimming lakes where you can implement the "ease of life" mentality just like the locals do. As you discover new landscapes and a change of scenery, you also discover a change in culture and new food and drinks. There is nothing more exciting after an adventurous hike than sitting down to a meal together with new friends made along the way and truly getting to know the country, the traditions, the lifestyle, and the people. Indulge in delicious traditional dishes while relaxing on a sunny terrace with memorable views of lakes and mountains prepared with fresh, regional produce. Make it a true experience that widens your horizon, not just simply another meal.
