Hallstadt

Highest recommendation! My husband and I explored the Lake District in Austria on a walking tour. We loved the detailed hiking directions, which are excellent. We recommend downloading the GPS maps as backup, to make sure you are on the right track. Vouchers for transportation were included, so we felt comfortable taking ferries, buses and trains.
