As a journalist, Klaus Höfler (Austria) writes about large worlds of adventure, small adventure settings, hidden gems in the landscape and the captivating life stories of people who live and work in them. Born and bred in Graz, he studied geography and works for German-language newspapers, journals and magazines. He approaches mountains, valleys and waterways with respect and enthusiasm – and very often wearing running shoes; not to break records, but to test his own limits of enjoyment.
