Located only a spirited yodel away from the Swiss border, the Wormser High Trail (H\u00f6henweg in German) is an under-the-radar basic of southwestern Austria. I used to be advisable the path by Matthias Kodym<\/a>, an Austrian nationwide who has trekked extensively each in his personal nation and all over the world. Beginning close to the village of Schruns, over its 20.6 km (12.8 mi) course, the Wormser H\u00f6henweg traverses two picturesque passes and affords magnificent views of the glacially-sculpted Montafon Valley.<\/em>\u00a0It was the primary and shortest of 4 excessive trails I did in Austria in October 2019, the others being the Stubaier H\u00f6henweg (see Trip Report, Guide & Gear List<\/a>), Schladming Tauern H\u00f6henweg, and the Berliner H\u00f6henweg (see Trip Report & Guide<\/a>\/Gear List<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I cut up the Wormser Hohenweg over two days. On the primary, I walked round 5 hours and camped near the Valschaveiler Jochili (Tarptent Aeon Li <\/a>pictured). On the second day, I awoke to drizzly circumstances and completed the trek a few hours later at a fog-draped Neue Heilbronner Hutte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
