I personally had loads of highlights. There was so much to take in every day, I have only been able to process it all at home. I am delighted and grateful to have done the KAT Walk with my husband. I got to know some fantastic and nice people!

In addition to breathtaking viewpoints and magically beautiful locations, the hospitality of our accommodations was our highlight. Especially if you arrive after a cold, rainy or snowy day and the sauna has already been preheated.
