Sarah and I finished hiking our sections of the Alpe Adria a couple of weeks ago but the high I experienced lingers. While there were a few issues on the trail, mostly due to poor or inadequate markings, the trail was overwhelmingly a pleasure to experience. It is amazing that three countries can coordinate a cross-border trail with such efficiency. I know there are complaints out there, but with GPX we managed just fine and the trail goes through wonderful villages and towns, incredible scenery, and a good mix of wilderness and closer to home. I felt so at home on the trail, each step a pleasure, and I miss the daily exertion and reward of each daily grind. Overall, a wonderful way to spend two weeks. Only 25 stages to go if we want to walk the entire Alpe Adria. We do!
