    The hike was wonderful and after a few weeks of travel it was great to spend a day outside of the big cities to get some exercise and take in the beautiful views. Karin was the perfect guide and we are grateful for the time she spent with us.

    This was a great day! We met Karin in Vienna and drove with her to the Wachau Valley where we took a three hour hike. The views from the trail were amazing: farms and vineyards everywhere. We stopped near the end for a light lunch and local wine. Karin is a wonderful guide: she has "curated" many hikes of various terrains/levels of difficulty. She was great at describing the local history, commerce, etc, and could adjust the hike to our speed. I give this activity my highest recommendation: it's suited for hikers of all levels (and "newbies" who may want to try hiking), and is set in an extremely beautiful venue. It is a great daytrip from Vienna.

    Loved this hike with Karin. We travelled Europe by train and thus we are stuck in the cities so it was really nice to get out in the country. Karin is absolutely wonderful guide. She is super knowledgeable and gave us quite a lot of knowledge about many things, either the mountains or just Austria in general. She was happy to walk at the slowest pace of us (me) and didnt make us feel rushed or pressure. Gave us choices at certain points of we wanted to go to the top of the ruins for example Or just admire them from the base. As far as strenuous, I’d rate the hike moderate. At times the trail is very steep with a drop off to the side so I needed to slow down to get through that. At times there was a rope to hold when the trail was narrow with steep drop off. We did get caught in a rainstorm but fortunately it blew over and we were mostly dry by the end. I do recommend to bring 2 water bottles per person. We had just one each and I felt like I had to pace myself with it. It’s a 3 hr hike so once you start there’s no going back so you need to be committed. I am a 59 yr old average fitness for an American and it was good for me.

    After a week of bus tours, museums and castles, this trip was a great change of scenery. Karin was amazing, guiding us on an incredible hike and allowing us to soak up the local character of the Bavarian countryside. Highly recommend and will definitely do again!

    This hike and my time with Karin was an absolute highlight my trip! Karin was very responsive and thorough with my many questions from my trip planning stage all the way through to day of the hike and even afterwards! Great knowledge of the hiking trail, destination, Viennese culture, and wonderful recommendations. I learned a lot. Karin is also awesome at taking breathtaking photos! I wish the weather cooperated for us to do more hikes! I will for sure be in touch again whenever I come back to Vienna. Thank you so much, Karin, for a wonderful time :)
