Full Description
A guidebook to 30 walks in Austria's Salzkammergut, a region of lakes and mountains near Salzburg. With the majority of routes graded easy to moderate, there are plenty of options to suit less experienced walkers and families, and most can be accessed by public transport.
Walks range from 5 to 20km (3-12 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2-9 hours. They are divided between four geographical areas, including the ever-popular Dachstein.
