Trekking in Austria's Hohe Tauern: Venediger, Glockner and Reichen Groups by Allan Hartley (Paperback, 2010)

Situated in the heart of Austria and the Eastern Alps the Hohe Tauern National Park is the largest in Europe and a World Conservation Area, taking in the Tirol, Salzburg and Karnten. The area boasts dramatic valleys headed by scores of peaks and trekkers are well supported by some of the best huts in the Alps. The Park is centred on the Gross Glockner, at 3798m Austria's highest mountain. Trekking in Austria's Hohe Tauern concentrates on three areas - the little known Reichen Group with its folklore of dwarves and giants, the Venediger Group with its glaciers and finally the Gross Glockner Group taking centre stage. Various hut-to-hut tours are described here, including the new Glockner Round that links seven huts together without having to cross glaciers. This title describes 5 long-distance treks, including a 10-day traverse across the whole area. Alternatives, excursions and ascents of nearby peaks are also suggested in it.
