Many people dream of hiking over the Alps and to the sea at least once in their lives. But can a normal family tackle the 557 kilometers of the long-distance hiking trail from Munich to Venice? Gerhard von Kapff set out with his wife Sibylle and their two children, aged eight and ten, in three stages. In this book, he shares the humorous story of an extraordinary family adventure that challenged the hikers both physically and mentally. Alongside absurd discussions and quirky bribery tactics, this experience provided them with one thing above all: quality time for the family.
