The Adlerweg : The Eagle's Way Across the Austrian Tyrol

Running from from St Johann to St Anton in the Austrian Tyrol, stopping at Innsbruck mid-way, the Adlerweg (or Eagle's Way) is a well-waymarked 300km path that is relatively new and becoming ever more popular. This is the first English-language guide to the route. It follows established mountain and valley tracks to traverse the length of the Austrian state of Tyrol from east to west. This guide gives detailed route description of the route's 23 principal stages, as well as its 6 easier low-level alternatives and 8 more difficult high-level alpine variants through the Lechtal Alps. Variants make it as easy or challenging as readers desire. Strong walkers could complete the route in two weeks.

Since taking up walking 20 years ago, Mike Wells has walked most of the recognised long-distance paths in the UK as well as many paths throughout Europe. He first visited Tyrol as a tour group organiser in 1999 and has returned there every year since. This is his first guide for Cicerone.
