Starting at the base of the highest mountain in Austria the Großglockner (3798m/12,461ft) the AAT makes its way south through the Austrian Alps to Slovenia and eventually hitting the coast in Italy in Trieste. It’s a bit more commercial than I’m used to and sometimes I wondererd about the route guidance. But to each their own. Sadly for me I got myself a shin splint after 6 days near the Slovenian border.
