About Us

Moon & Honey Travel is designed to inspire your hiking adventures around the world. By creating hiking-themed travel itineraries and trail guides, we hope to encourage you to travel with your feet.

We also want you to feel safe, confident, and well-informed as you tackle trails in new hiking destinations.

We’re Kati and Sabrina, an Austrian and an American couple based in Vienna. After years of traveling across Asia, New Zealand, and the Balkans, we’re now hiking across Europe. 

We started this blog with the intention of helping like-minded travelers discover the most memorable and offbeat travel experiences in any given country.

However, as we continued to travel, we discovered that we primarily travel to hike.


Hiking in the Alps

In our current season of travel, we’re obsessed with trekking long distances in the Alps. Growing up in the States, I (Sabrina) always assumed multi-day hiking was gritty, taxing, and gear-intensive.

But, after our first hut-to-hut hike in the Dolomites in 2017, my WORLD and perspective changed.

It was like stepping into the Narnia wardrobe and entering a magical realm where every hike ends in a cozy mountain hut, with delicious home-cooked meals, glasses of wine (or beer), and comfortable beds.

Is that heaven, or what? 

Since that transformative experience in the Dolomites, we’re on a mission to document the best hut to hut hiking trails in the Alps.

Here are some of our favorite treks to date:

Curious about hiking in the Alps?


Hiking in Europe

While the Alps occupy a special place in our hearts, we also love hiking in other regions.

Recently, we’ve discovered the wonders of coastal hiking in Portugal (Fisherman’s Trail), Cornwall, and the Canary Islands (Best Hikes in Tenerife).

Hiking along the sea is like receiving a complimentary mind and soul-cleanse. We’re hoping to embark on more multi-day coastal hikes in the future.

  • The thrilling Lisengrat ridge trail in the Alpstein in Switzerland. 
We hiked this route along stage 2 of the Alpstein High Trail, but it’s also possible to tackle this trail as a day hike from Mount Säntis, accessible by cable car. 
Though no special equipment is needed, climbing gloves are helpful for grasping the fixed cables.

  • Our 3-day Appenzell hut to hut hiking itinerary is finally published on the blog. We called it the “Alpstein High Trail” because it follows the high trails of the Alpstein massif. Hiking this route was one of the highlights of our year.

  • Autumn is the most enchanting season to visit the Wachau Valley in Austria (1 hour train ride / drive from Vienna).
📆 This is what this lovely wine region looked like today (November 1, 2023).

  • A dreamy afternoon in South Tyrol, Italy. We’re seriously thinking about booking a winter trip here to see what it’s like when the mountains and treetops are blanketed in snow.
