This variant on the festival package includes seven concerts and six country walks. The Austrian stretch of the Danube valley is, for much of its length, of considerable beauty, with much variety of landscape – cultivated lowlands, forested peaks, open alluvial plains, vine-clad hillsides, upland pastures, and, of course, the mighty river meandering towards the Black Sea. There are pine and fir and larch, but broadleaves predominate – beech, birch, oak, poplar.

Though hardly classifiable as strenuous, this tour should only be considered by those who are used to regular country walking with some uphill content. There are hills, and a few fairly steep climbs for short stretches, but no mountains, and most of the routes are along gently undulating paths. The durations are between one and three hours.

The Festival Lied Victoria de los Angeles pays homage to the Barcelona soprano by combining three defining facets of her life: a love of Lied, a quest for excellence and the encouragement of new talent.

The Victoria de los Angeles Foundation is promoting this event dedicated to Lied, a genre which the Catalan singer dealt with to great acclaim. The festival will not only present recitals by artists of international renown (LIFE Recitals), but will also provide an innovative format that gives an opportunity for young performers to perform alongside professional musicians (LIFE New Artists) as well as a series of parallel training activities (LIFE Akademie).
