The shape of it
Mostly by train, some of it on foot, and a fair bit by boat.
The route runs almost entirely overland. A flight in and a flight home, one hop from Dubrovnik down to Sicily, and everything between those joined up by rail, road, ferry and boot.
The high point in both senses is the last week of August: four days crossing the Julian Alps hut to hut, over a 2,358 m pass in the middle of Triglav National Park, with no phone signal and no way off except forward.
