Our fabulous new route in Hungary explores a quiet range of hills known as the Balaton Uplands and has been designed with the serial ambler in mind, with walking days ranging from 6 to 8 hours.

Our route in East Slovenia has recently been completely re-walked and reworked and is now GPS-referenced to aid navigation. It’s a lovely walk that explores a beguiling patchwork of hills and vineyards, with much wine-tasting along the way…

For those less sure of their navigational skills, On Foot’s only guided walk to the stunning Julian Alps of Slovenia has now become a fixture, with two dates being offered in 2008 (departing 7 June and 13 September). It is also available for self-formed groups of 10 or more people at other times of the year. This walk is led by Janez Golob, On Foot’s ever-popular route advisor for other Slovenian routes.

Our self-guided routes are also now available as short breaks for 5 or 6 nights (with the exception of Mount Pelion and the Lycian Way), to suit those who are keen to walk but when time is short.

And for those keen on reducing their carbon footprint, On Foot Holidays have explored rail travel to get to the start of the walk and back again thereafter. As rail lines across Europe are upgraded, journey times are shortened, making the train a very feasible (and more interesting!) way of getting there…you can get to the start of the Rhine-Moselle walk from London in just 7½ hours.

Simon Scutt, Director of On Foot Holidays said,

“Hungary, outside Budapest, is rarely visited and our new route discovers the exotic volcanic landscape of the Balaton Uplands. Take the slow boat to Tihany on the placid waters of Lake Balaton, a vineyard lunch with the Meszaros family in their vineyard and enjoy a night in the rural sophistication of the Kali Art inn”.
