Austria
I wrote the first English-language guide to the Alpe Adria Trail, more than half of which runs through the Austrian state of Carinthia, and I’m the author of a new guide to daywalks among the lakes and mountains of Austria’s Salzkammergut region. Articles I’ve written on Austria range from hiking across Salzburgerland on the Salzburger Almenweg, to hotel reviews for The Telegraph (Salzburg and Linz), and family winter walking and skiing holidays in Zell am See, Gastein and the Paznaun Valley. I’ve photographed and written about Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage in Austria including falconry in the Waldviertel, the carnival (Schemenlaufen) in Imst, and traditional blaudruck (indigo dyeing) textile artists in Burgenland, Upper Austria and Vienna.
