Here are some useful tips for mountain walks:ĭo not stroke, feed or come too close to calves
Take a walk with us through the Austrian Alps and get a very close look to the cows and sheep we meet during our day trip. After about 100 days of feasting on this rich green grass, the farmers must fetch their herds and bring them back home for the long winter where the cows will once again rely on the hay the farmer has managed to harvest while they were on walkabout. The farmers have hired seasonal workers to milk the cows and some still make cheese all summer long. The cows munch and get fat on this fresh grass and herb diet. The cows, and many sheep, are pastured all summer in high valleys, steep mountainsides, places you might be surprised to see them, but they are there. Getting up to the mountains the first thing you notice is the far off tinkling of cow bells, and if you take a close look on those gargantuan mountains you will see plenty of bovines. It doesn’t matter where you are in this stunning region of Europe, the Alps are filled with wildflowers, sheep, cows and hikers. You can hike for weeks even without the need to carry a tent, sleeping bag, stove, or food.
The trails are well marked, well maintained, and connected by hundreds of villages, hamlets, inns, and mountain huts where hikers can find clean, comfortable, and beautifully situated accommodations. The Alps are the greatest supported hiking and walking destinations in the world.
