      About the Author

      John Hayes is a retired management consultant with degrees from Liverpool University and University College London. Immediately after finishing work in 2011, he embarked on an epic 5000km trek across Europe, walking from Tarifa in Spain to Budapest. He first walked the Karnischer Höhenweg in 2012 as part of a hike along the Via Alpina, and was so impressed that he returned in 2015 and again in 2016.

      John has written for numerous walking and trekking magazines. The Karnischer Höhenweg is his third guide for Cicerone.

      Updates to this guide

      While every effort is made by our authors to ensure the accuracy of guidebooks as they go to print, changes can occur during the lifetime of an edition. Any updates that we know of for this guide will be on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk/942/updates), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time.

      The route maps in this guide are derived from publicly available data, databases and crowd-sourced data. As such they have not been through the detailed checking procedures that would generally be applied to a published map from an official mapping agency, although naturally we have reviewed them closely in the light of local knowledge as part of the preparation of this guide.

      We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to [email protected] or by post to Cicerone, Juniper House, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal LA9 7RL.
