    Hungarian Walk of Friendship & European Peace Walk (EPW)

    We don't have FB but we we walked this route in 2017 (Sopron to Trieste) and my worries would be the trail markings. There were many places that lacked marking and the cue sheet and the maps that were made available did not match up. So Perhaps there is more up to date info on FB, but if not...

    Hungarian Walk of Friendship & European Peace Walk (EPW)

    Let me say if you walk and are in Ljubljana, look up KinkyOne. He is a local with lots of local info. We meet up with him and good thing as we got to enjoy a wonderful Friday Open Kitchen in the old town and meet a great person.

    Hungarian Walk of Friendship & European Peace Walk (EPW)

    We walked in 2017 and the path was poorly marked and in many places the path was over grown (waist high nettles). The in- route resources were few and far between and some of our "prebooked" accommodation hosts has no idea how many were in route for the day, and some hosts confused on which...

    European Peace Walk Questions

    People do book and not show up. Not sure about just showing up last minute. It was hot at the end of July last year...35+ C. It is day light early and we would get up at 4-5 am and be off no later then 5:15am. Never before first light as the path isn't well marked. One never know what the...

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    This is not the first or last time we picked up sticks to whack through shoulder high stinging nettles and I do believe that is a red arrow. I took this photo before I had to put away my camera. There was always arrow where we walked and even the one on a sign that had been turned around...

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    @marie Louise. That’s interesting as a number of our host were frustrated at the lack on people who they expected and they didn’t show. They had made space available and had empty beds. I didn’t say all, but several expressed this to us. We were able to find our way while others in our...

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    Accommodations could be a hostel, a hotel, private home, guest house etc. So the prices were different and some included dinner and/or breakfast . Some you could purchase a la carte. So for one most nights were between 20-35 euro for a bed. One person charged us more per person because "not...

    European Peace Walk - Confused about starting point

    Sorry can't help. First we used 3 different currencies. Then the prices in PDF were incorrect and food was all over the place. Some cheap, often hard to find a market.

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    As a woman this is not a route I would walk alone. Sunday mornings were the worst. Men gathered at any bar, drinking, and cat calling. One Sunday I was walking ahead with another lady and the men started in and then my husbands come behind us 100 yards and they got quiet. Also there were time...

    European Peace Walk - Confused about starting point

    I can..the first day my husband and I walked about 25 k. We did fine. Two ladies arrived around 5 hours after us after having walked for over 10 hours. They left Sopron before us, we never saw them, they got lost, more than once. They walked with us the next day and as we talked we missed a...

    European Peace Walk - 2018 DATES

    They organizers are some what disorganized. For example in the PDF file of the route we received the maps and route cues did not match up. Also we arrived at some "prearranged" accommodations but they were not expecting us for a day or two later. The costs for lodging are wrong and in one case...

    European Peace Walk - Start July 28, 2017

    We flew to Vienna and took the train to Budapest, Bratislava, Salzburg and few other places for almost a week and finally to Sopron. After Trieste, a very lovely place with excellent coffee, we took the train to Venice and flew home to the USA. We did take the same as for a camino. You can...

    FAQs on the "European Peace Walk"

    I did not keep a record but I can tell you the last night was to be 13 euro for a bed and it was 17, and the PDF said 8 euro for dinner which she would fix but she took us 5 kilometers to town to a restaurant and most main dishes were over 10 euro. Most beds would be a couple of euro more than...

    FAQs on the "European Peace Walk"

    You register through the EPW web page. They haven't put up the dates for next year. This is not the Camino. Once registered you are sent a pdf ( we dubbed it: pretty damned flawed) file with route maps and about 100 pages of cues.... the cue sheets often do not match up with the maps. There is...

    FAQs on the "European Peace Walk"

    There was plenty of spot available all season. Be prepared. The route maps and cue sheet do not match up. We arrived in Trieste today. Three of us, having walked the whole route with packs. Some start, some quit, some taxi. The route is not worn as few walk the whole way. We beat down weeds...

    We met up with@kinkyOne in Ljubljana today and I would recommend it. He is very nice and a wealth of information on the area. Thanks for meeting with us and sharing!

    European Peace Walk - Start July 28, 2017

    Quick update... We are two weeks in and this path is not for a beginner. One must be very good at reading and keeping up with cues on a cue sheet. Maps. Me is a must. In some areas the arrows have not been marked in a couple of years and there are downed trees that have been down for sometime...
