For those forum members considering the EPW in 2016, some thoughts after following the RoamFar blog: please be aware the EPW is still evidently a project in development. The organizers attempted to reduce the daily distances somewhat this year, but in many cases were not successful. Some days are 40 km, although the written guide materials are apparently not very straightforward about that. Some forum members have only experience of the
Camino Frances in Spain - and that level of infrastructure (lodging, restaurants, shops) is 1000 times what one encounters on the EPW. Even for those who have walked in central Europe, the EPW (at least through Hungary) runs through the former depopulated borderlands, and has maybe 2% of the infrastructure in Bavaria. There simply are not shops and restaurants except in the very large towns.
I'm going to give them a few more years for the project to progress in its development. If I were to walk in 2016, I would plan on taking several days' food with me, starting in Vienna, as well as taking a decent sized water bladder. And I would bring several friends!
