The long hike is becoming increasingly popular with active vacationers. Optimal conditions for this can be found in the Imst Holiday Region in the heart of Tyrol. So far, the Adlerweg route, the Via Claudia Augusta, the Way of St. James, the E1 and the E4 have taken five long-distance hiking tours through the region, and a sixth has recently been added: the Starkenberger Panoramic Route is full of highlights. It refers to a centuries-old tradition, combines fortresses and castles of the once powerful noble family of Starkenberger.
