It's been awhile since the first Dispatch from the Via Alpina Trail, but National Geographic Adventure has finally updated the feature with a Dispatch from Austria.
The Via Alpina Trail is a 1500 mile long monster trail that winds it's way through the Alps crossing Monaco, France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia, and is billed as the high alpine answer to the Appalachian Trail.
In this latest disptach, hikers Alex Crevar and Carly Calhoun send images and information from the Via Alpina in Austria. They comment on some wonderful food, namely cheese and bacon in Carinthia, as well as the high mountain lakes, traveling through Lienz, the regional capital, and more. Great read if you want to plan an epic through hike, and they promise another dispatch is coming soon. Don't hold your breath though.
