There are so many wonderful treks to choose from that it is a difficult decision. I always like to bounce ideas off my hiking friends and see what we can come up with.

The latter was one I had never heard of, but learned that a route guidebook had just been published in English for the first time by John Hayes. I ordered the book from Cicerone, Trekking Munich to Venice. After reading it, the decision was easy. To really help get in the mood I also did a search on YouTube and found several great videos about the trek! The route:
