LängsderAlpen

Of inner and outer paths. A doctor leaves his practice and follows a dream that takes him along the Alps to the sea. For five months, the author wanders alone from Vienna to the southern French Mediterranean coast, on a self-chosen route over the main ridge of the Alps. He experiences quiet valleys, rugged peaks, intense encounters, and the untamed power of nature. But not only does the landscape change, the wanderer himself does as well. This travelogue of an alpine pilgrimage is more than just a diary. It is an invitation to slow down, to inner movement, to the joy of simple existence, and perhaps to set out on one's own journey. With atmospheric imagery and sensitive language, the author recounts a journey that leaves traces not only geographically but also spiritually.
