A guidebook to trekking the Karnischer Höhenweg, or Carnic Peace Trail. The 170km hut-to-hut trail follows the World War I front line through the Carnic Alps, along the border of Austria and Italy, and is rich in historical, geological and cultural interest. It can be hiked in 1–2 weeks and is suitable for walkers with a reasonable level of fitness, a sense of adventure and a head for heights.
