Karin was a great guide and host. The hike through the Grand Canyon of Austria had the clearest water I have ever seen in a river. Karin took the small group up to a look out point, showing us a mountain near by, while also allowing for observation of the canyon below. I cannot say enough good things about Karin, she is an excellent guide. This is definitely worth the trip and I would highly recommend it. read less

She has a real passion for hiking, and I wouldn’t be able to find the trail on my own if she wasn’t there. She was very knowledgable about the area, and along the trail she would tell you about various plant species, fruits, and shared countless fantastic view spots. I would definitely do more hiking experiences with her when I’m in the area next time! read less

I had an amazing time as she took me on trails through Wachau to find amazing viewpoints overlooking the small towns and vineyards. She made sure the pace was comfortable and that we took adequate rest even on such a hot day. She even gave me options to see other interesting points along the hike if I wanted to. I highly recommend Karin's adventure experiences if you'd like to get out of Vienna for a day and explore the countryside for a change. read less

We did 2 tours with her, the Myrafalle Falls and the Wachau vineyard tour.
Both were great and we had a lot of fun :)
At the end of both tours we found very cute and local restaurants to have a late lunch.
Would definitely recommend these tours to anyone who wants to see the countryside of Austria ;) read less

Karin was very friendly, picked me up right on time at the train station, drove out to the starting point and she knew the route so well with knowledge about the landscape/ area that made it all the more interesting :) So nice to be able to share life & views with Karin. Fortunately we had the perfect weather to go with it. If you’re a bit over museums and castles and churches - this is the experience to go for! read less

Nous étions 2 personnes avec Karin ce qui est en plein à mon goût car je n’aime pas les grands groupes. Karin est attentive aux capacités de chacun et va selon le rythme de ces « invités »! Nous avons eu une belle journée ensoleillée, Wachau Valley est unique et la vue que nous avions était merveilleuse! Une promenade tranquille, aux sons de la nature, des arbres fruitiers en cours de route, manger des prunes bleues fraîchement cueillies était délicieux! Cette option guidée était la meilleure pour moi car je n’avais pas de voiture, avec une personne locale, nous étions dans des villages moins fréquentés et je ne suis pas certains que j’aurais su m’y retrouvée dans ce « chemin rustique »! J’ai grandement apprécié! read less

We didn’t want to spend time researching the details of the hike and spend time looking at maps but to be fully immersed and enjoy the day. Karin was the perfect guide for this. She planned every detail. We met her at the designated place and found a friendly, prepared person who was extremely polite and willing to engage in discussion according to our pace. She was on top of the entire logistics. We had an exquisite hike and learned so many things about local history and nature. She set a hiking pace based on her sense of our fitness and we ended the day enjoying a delicious meal at the village tavern after an invigorating excursion. Karin is a very special person. We highly recommend her to take you out solo or a group. She’s an excellent communicator in advance to determine which hike is best for you based on your needs. You are lucky if you get this opportunity;) read less

The scenery at the Myra Falls was breathtaking and refreshing and the hike was a great way to nature. read less

I wanted something different from the typical tours. I did this on my first day and it was the highlight of my trip. First, there was excellent communication. Karin checked in with me and helped me figure out which train to take to the meeting point. From there, she drove us to the trail. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a small group - 3 other people so it really felt intimate. My tour mates knew each other but I still felt like I was a part of the group. Karin knows so much about the area and has such an interesting background and life experiences. She’s a genuinely nice person and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her during the hike. The hike itself was AMAZING. Such beautiful views of Spitz and Wachau Valley and the Danube river. Vineyards upon vineyards. So many green hills! We also chances upon some tasty snacks along the way. Fresh apples, walnuts, and a vineyard owner was kind enough to give us some grapes. I still recommend taking some of your own snacks with you and water. After the hike we stopped by a cute cafe with a nice view and I got a wine from the area and an apricot strudel. Delicious! I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend. I’m an active person so this hike was totally manageable. However, there are some steep areas. Karin is very patient and helpful so don’t worry if you need a little time! read less

Karin not only knows a lot about hiking, the track and the region but she's also a very kind and warm person. We had great conversations and she immediately made me feel like I can be myself with her. Which is important when you're spending 3-5 hours out in the mountains with someone. The route is breathtakingly beautiful and I most enjoyed that there were no other people on it. So it almost felt like a private guide through the wineyards, forests and mountains. read less

I have already recommended Karin to any of my friends who are considering Austria and I would not hesitate to take one of her other tours. My gf and I absolutely loved it read less

Saturday’s Hobbit Hike through the hills, woods and pasturelands surrounding the village of Michelbach, 45 minutes NW of Vienna, was as lovely as Karin’s website suggested. With Karin as our host and guide, our group of 5 (from Austria (2), Brazil, (2) and the US (1)) really clicked. And we alternated between enjoying fresh air, lovely farmland, woods and fun conversations. These trail chats formed and reformed — in the easy way that only hiking permits. Karin was a warm, well-organized, and easy-going host. I look forward to more trips with her, as a great way to explore the Austrian countryside and to make new friends. read less

I'm not extremely fit or athletic but I do enjoy the outdoors. A few days before the hike I sprained my ankle and was concerned I wouldnt be able to do the hike. Karin was accommodating since no refund was possible and she took breaks as needed. The hike was BEAUTIFUL, every section of the 8 miles (12KM) looked like the photos in terms of how incredible they were. The only part of the hike I would consider grueling was the hike out of the canyon which was about 30 minutes of a steep uphill ascent but it was worth it for the views. Highly recommend Karin and this experience. read less

The meetup point was simple because she communicated exactly where and how I should get there. She selected an easier location for me since one of the metro lines was under construction. The hike was filled with rolling hills with beautiful views at each corner. When we arrived in Durnstein, we tasted some of the great wine from the vineyards that we hiked through. Karin is kind and personable, and she made this a great experience. If you want to see a true Austrian village, have some exercise, and enjoy some views, this is a great trip for it. read less

We hiked for over 3 hours through the Wachau region, and through the midevil towns of Stein and Dürnstein.

I fell in love with Vienna on this trip.

And I’m so grateful to have taken this tour with my guide, Karin (who is my new best friend, for sure). She has an amazing spirit and we spent the day solving the world’s problems while also getting our workout on. It was truly a special experience.

For those of you living in Vienna or traveling here, please note that Karin has multiple trip options. I would have done all of them if I had the time. And I for sure will be back to do more. Enjoy! read less

She explained many things about Austrian culture throughout the day and during the hike she pointed out many different plants which helped us really feel connected to the environment. The hike was a bit tough for me at times, but I think the difficulty was consistent with the description of the activity and the tips provided online. There were really only a few sections that were steep, but it is a pretty long hike with many gradual ups and downs. Karin was really patient when I needed to go more slowly at times. We also stopped frequently for pictures. The views were so beautiful. It is an experience I will always remember! read less

She is passionate about helping people connect with the natural world as a means to personal health and well-being. She is not overbearing about this in any way; it simply comes through in how she conducts the tour. She offered wonderful explanations of the area, both historical and natural features. She was attentive to what hiking pace worked for me. And we finished the hike with a bite to eat and an option for a local wine at a very pleasant cafe. This day was exactly the change of pace I was hoping for! read less
