As one of Europe's most popular walking holiday destinations, Austria is a magical combination of many fairytale features, spectacular Alpine mountain scenery and a surprisingly diverse set of landscapes and cultural wonders. The villages are as varied as the landscape, the market towns have barely changed since medieval times, and the great regional dishes, traditional folklore, music and warm-hearted people make for a truly authentic experience. More than 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) of way-marked Austria walking trails in breathtaking scenery takes you away from hectic everyday life and into a healthy, relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
