Alpe Adria Trail

Alpe-Adria Trail Travel Guide - Expert travel advice for trekking from the Alps to the Adriatic through Austria, Slovenia and Italy, including maps and route descriptions (including time, distance, ascent) for all 43 stages. Also covering fauna, flora, history, culture, geography and accommodation, plus local transport, culture, food and language.

This is the first English-language guide to the epic new 750-km hiking route through the mountains of Austria, Slovenia and Italy, from the foot of the Grossglockner (at 3,798m, the highest peak in Austria and the Eastern Alps) to Muggia near Trieste on the Adriatic coast. Detailed maps and route descriptions for all 43 stages of the route are included, with a clear breakdown of time, distance and ascent for each stage. Published in a small, handy-sized format which is easy to pack and carry, it is written by an expert who has authored over half a dozen hiking guides and who specialises in Eastern and Central Europe. He has been a regular visitor to the borderlands of Slovenia, Austria and Italy for over 15 years, as well as living for two years in neighbouring Croatia. The Alpe-Adria route is well marked, relatively easy to walk and is suitable for hikers of all abilities as well as families - a point which is emphasised in the guide. The route takes in spectacular, unspoilt mountain scenery, alpine lakes, rolling coastal hills, beautiful villages and several national parks and nature reserves. An introduction covering the history, wildlife, flora and geography of the area is included, along with accommodation details for each stage and information on local public transport, culture, food and language.

Der AlpeAdriaTrail ist eine genussvolle und erlebnisreiche Entdeckungsreise durch die Regionen Kärnten, Slowenien und Friaul-Julisch Venetien. Am Fuß des Großglockners nimmt der rund 650 Kilometer lange Weitwanderweg seinen Ausgang, verläuft gemütlich durch die traumhafte Kulisse der Kärntner Berg- und Seenwelt, durchstreift die slowenischen Kalkalpen und führt über die Weinberge Friauls an die Mittelmeerküste bei Triest. Der Rother Wanderführer »AlpeAdriaTrail« stellt alle 41 Etappen vom Großglockner bis nach Triest vor. Ein abwechslungsreiches Programm wird hier geboten. Wer das Gletschereis und die zahlreichen Dreitausender der Tauerngruppe sowie die sanften Kuppen der Nockberge hinter sich gelassen hat, den erwartet in Slowenien einer der naturbelassensten Flüsse Mitteleuropas, die Soča. Mit ihrem klaren Türkisblau geleitet sie die Wanderer durch die beeindruckenden Kalkformationen des Triglav-Nationalparks. Schließlich werden die Weinberge Norditaliens durchstreift. Nach rund 41 Etappen und 23.000 Höhenmetern wartet der Sprung in die Fluten der Adria – ein unbeschreibliches Gefühl! Neben den landschaftlichen Schönheiten ist der Trail auch ein kulturelles und kulinarisches Erlebnis – der Wanderführer bietet ausführliche Informationen zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten und viele Tipps zu lohnenden Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Die einzelnen Etappen werden mit exakten Wegbeschreibungen, Kartenausschnitten mit eingezeichnetem Routenverlauf und aussagekräftigen Höhenprofilen präsentiert. Infos zu Verkehrsmitteln und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten vereinfachen die Etappenplanung. GPS-Daten zu allen Etappen stehen zum Download von der Internetseite des Rother Bergverlag bereit. Die Autoren Astrid Christ und Martin Marktl kennen die Region von Kindesbeinen an und waren 2012 die ersten, die den Alpe Adria Trail in seiner Gesamtlänge erwandert haben. Für die 4. Auflage wurden die Etappenbeschreibungen und Zusatzinformationen vollständig aktualisiert.
