Walking the Danube - Six concerts from ‘The Danube Music Festival’

    • Combines country walks through some of the glorious countryside of the Danube valley with concerts of The Danube Music Festival.
    • Six concerts and five half–day country walks.
INTRODUCTION
Dürnstein, Steel Engraving C. 1840.
Dürnstein, steel engraving c. 1840.

This variant on the festival package includes six concerts and five half-day country walks. The Austrian stretch of the Danube valley is, for much of its length, of considerable beauty, with much variety of landscape – cultivated lowlands, forested peaks, open alluvial plains, vine-clad hillsides, upland pastures, and, of course, the mighty river meandering towards the Black Sea. There are pine and fir and larch, but broadleaves predominate – beech, birch, oak, poplar. 

Though hardly classifiable as strenuous, this tour should only be considered by those who are used to regular country walking with some uphill content. There are hills, and a few fairly steep climbs for short stretches, but no mountains, and most of the routes are along gently undulating paths. The durations are between two and two-and-a-half hours.

TESTIMONIALS
I thought it was an ideal mix of concerts, recitals, lectures and walks.
Our lecturer was excellent. His informal style talks were interesting; his leadership on the walks excellent.
I relished it all. The mixture of walking, visiting interesting buildings and music was lovely.
The music and the walking are an unbeatable combination.
Performances were all of a high standard and, as always, the venues added greatly to our appreciation.
