A ward-winning writer and photographer Rudolf Abraham’s new guidebook to the Peaks of the Balkans trail – 200km through the wild and rugged borderlands of Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo (an area known as Prokletije, meaning ‘the accursed mountains’, but don’t let that put you off as it’s a spectacularly beautiful and wonderfully hospitable corner of the world!) – was published towards the end of 2017 by Cicerone. Recent trips have taken him to the lakes and mountains of Austria’s Salzkammergut region, and across a snowswept Dachstein plateau, to begin work on a new guidebook – as well as to the Waldviertel region, to photograph falconry and birds of Rudolf Abraham prey. Other trips in recent months have included Austria, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Croatia and Slovenia (both of which he has been a regular visitor to for the best part of twenty years). Magazine and newspaper work over the past few months has included features for OE, The Independent, France, TGO, Geographical, Hidden Europe, Morning Calm and The National. Upcoming trips include hiking in Salzkammergut and Dachstein again, cycling in Normandy, walking in Burgundy, music in the Dolomites, kayaking in Montenegro, Riga to cover Latvia’s Song and Dance Celebration, and several trips to Croatia while working on a new edition of his Walking in Croatia guidebook.
