The art of slow travel
Imagine setting out at the foot of the mighty Grossglockner, taking your first steps of your Alpe-Adria Trail journey on the edges of the Pasterze glacier. There is a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation. Walking along the sunny side of the Hohe Tauern National Park, we pass through beautiful landscapes, encounter cultural monuments of traditions past, such as the ancient stock mills in the alpine village of Apriach. Many days later, we find ourselves in Slovenia – walking alongside the emerald green water of the Soca river. At long last, having covered almost 750 km, we reach the Adriatic Coast – immersing ourselves into the cool waves at Duino beach, as a more than well-deserved reward.
