The folklore of Austria’s dramatic Hochkönig
region fires the imagination: legends are woven
through its subterranean ice kingdoms,
treacherous fissures and turreted fortresses.
Here, adventures can be adrenalin-fuelled or
intimate — after hiking, biking, sliding or
caving, relax in Alpine villages, where herbalists
and brewers share their elixirs
