When can I start the peacewalk?
Any Date that you want. Preferably a nice summer's day :-)
how much time will it take to complete?
If you walk and only spend 1 night in every Accommodation then the EPW will take you: 13 Days
The first day of walking you will start waking and on the 12th Day you will walk into Trieste City.
However….
If you add the optional day trip to Zagreb, the EPW will take you 14days
and if you also,
Stay 2 nights in Ljubljana (in order to see Lake Bled), it will take you 15 days. So, 2 weeks; a perfect holiday.
And ! for an even more perfect holiday.
You can, if you want, walk from Brezice to Ljubljana (via Novo Mesto) through Slovenian vineyards. This will add an extra 4 days to your EPW

I only can walk 1/2 of the epw
The EPW, challenging as it is, is a “process” best walked in its entirety. We have made it shorter and more manageable in 2019.

Where will walkers sleep en route?
Accommodation will be provided in the towns that are along the route. This accommodation will be comfortable and at a bare minimal cost. We have found accommodations in hostels, community centers, mountain huts, student residences, etc. The costs of beds vary between 10 euros a night to 20 euros a night.
What will i eat along the route?
Expect to eat amazing home cooked food across 6 completely different European cuisines. The food and drink across this part of Europe is so varied and delicious, it needs to be tasted to be believed!
Additionally, the tap-water in all of the 6 countries is clean and to the highest quality!

Wifi / internet?
Most of the hostels along the EPW route have Wifi and/or a PC for common usage.
How long are the stages?
We have done our very best to shorten all stages and to try and keep them around 25kms/per day. In the cases where we cannot shorten the longer stages, there will be options of public transport to help.
Peacewalkers are free to walk half a Stage (or no Stage) and take public transport, taxi, train, tractor etc.
It is 100% your walk, so you can do it in any way that you feel comfortable!

Day-to-day bag transport between accommodations is possible. If needed, this is organized by each walking group themselves. Most of the accommodations when asked will organize this service for the PeaceWalkers.
In Vienna, Bratislava, or Sopron, if you have heavy bags/luagge that you want to receive in Italy, have it sent to “Trieste Post Office” in Italy addressed to your name followed by the words “FERMOPOSTA.” They’ll hold it at the main post office for up to 30 days (then send it back if unclaimed), and you’ll have to pay a small fee to pick it up.

will i be able to charge my electrical devices?
Make sure whatever electrical devices you bring can handle 120V-240V, otherwise you will need an adapter.
Do i need to bring sheets/a sleeping bag?
Sheets and blankets are provided in the accommodations, so you do not need to bring a sleeping bag. This being said, you can never go wrong with carrying a light liner!
