A Symbol of our Progress – the PeaceWalk (EPW) Project.
The EPW is a trans-national, cross border initiative set on creating an integrated tourist platform along the borders of Central Europe to celebrate the present European culture of peace.
Open to all, the EPW will be a 570km permanent walkway with supporting services and accommodation provided along the way, that will drive a vibrant new tourism trade directly into the region.
The EPW will start in the Brno-Vienna-Bratislava Triangle, then pass Sopron, Maribor and Slovenj Gradec, before ending at the Mediterranean Sea in Trieste, Italy.
To be promoted to a new generation of Europeans, the EPW will soon become a recognised fixture of modern day Europe, and within a decade, is expected to have 90,000 participants per annum using it.

6 Countries, Cultures and Cuisines: The PeaceWalk 2017 is now open
After nearly a century of bloodshed and turmoil, perpetual peace has finally been achieved in Europe. Now that Europe is open again, and the harsh borders between Capitalism/Socialism/Communism have dispersed, we are free to walk through it, experience the diversity of our cultures and discuss our joint futures together. This freedom of movement has given birth to the PeaceWalk (EPW); a growing trans-national adventure across 6 European countries, linking Vienna to Venice.
Daily Stages of about 25kms lets the PeaceWalkers slowly hike and enjoy the beauty & culture along the Route, before arriving at super (and cheap) hostels every evening and settling down to cuisine from one of 6 European cultures. The EPW is the cheapest and most meaningful way to experience Europe – at its best.
After 19 to 21 days of trekking, having passed Vienna, Bratislava, (Budapest), Sopron, Kőszeg, Varaždin, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Lake Bled, the PeaceWalkers will arrive on the Adriatic sea at Trieste, across the bay from Venice.
Freedom to move, freedom to play along the European trails
Hiking through Central Europe is not only a journey across scenic mountains, lakes, and historic cities — it's also a chance to stop where nature meets the vibrant lights of nightlife. The PeaceWalkers trail leads through cultural capitals and hidden gems, and along the way, there are places where you can swap your hiking boots for a refined evening at the casino.
- In Vienna, you’ll find the elegant Casino Wien, housed in a historic building right in the heart of the Austrian capital.
- In Bratislava, the cozy Casino Café Reduta, one of the city’s oldest, blends classical music with roulette tables.
- Budapest offers several options, including the Las Vegas Casino, located on the Danube with a view of the Parliament.
- In the Hungarian town of Sopron, you can take a break at Casino Sopron, popular among visitors from Austria.
- Zagreb features the modern Casino Admiral, not far from the city center.
- In Ljubljana, travelers are welcomed by the stylish and comfortable Casino Ljubljana.
- On the shores of picturesque Lake Bled, the refined Casino Bled offers a peaceful gaming experience accompanied by the sounds of water.
- And finally, just outside Trieste, across the Slovenian border, lies the luxurious Perla Casino in Nova Gorica — a true resort for gaming enthusiasts.
This kind of journey combines the physical freedom of the trail with the pleasure of cultural and gaming breaks. Each stop has its own rhythm — from the silence of forest paths to the soft hum of chips on green felt.
For those who prefer to wind down in the comfort of their hotel room, a great alternative is an online casino. These digital venues offer a wide variety of games — from classic roulette to modern video slots — and are accessible from nearly every point along the route. Many travelers also turn to an international online casino, which provides access to generous bonuses, live dealer tables, and tournaments, all from your smartphone or laptop. It's an easy and entertaining way to extend the excitement without leaving your room.
