On Sunday 2nd July 2023 I will commence walking from Vienna, Austria, heading for the town of Bregenz on the eastern shore of lake Constance.
After 1,000 kilometres and some 55,000 metres of vertical ascent, I hope to reach Bregenz on the weekend of the 9th September.
My planned route is comprised of three main walks:
The North Alpine Way (Nordalpenweg) (NAW)
https://www.alpenverein.at/weitwanderer/weitwanderwege/nordalpenweg.php
The Via Alpina Purple (VA), which in turn, for much of its length, follows the Maximiliansweg through the Bavarian alps.
