The route map

Are you ready for your adventure on Salzburg's local mountain?

This trekking tour takes us out of the city into nature and it leads us to ourselves. Step by step we find a new rhythm in which our endurance and the natural environment set the tone. Neither the distance covered nor the speed count, but the conscious experience of the present.
