The Sultans Trail is a long-distance footpath from Vienna to Istanbul. It is 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) long. The path passes through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, East Macedonia and Thrace in northern Greece, and Turkey. Sultans Trail [sic] (recte Sultan's) takes its name from Sultan Süleyman Kanuni, Suleiman the Magnificent, of the Ottoman Empire, who led Ottoman armies to conquer Belgrade and most of Hungary before his invasion was checked at the Siege of Vienna. The main path follows the route of Suleiman the Magnificent on his way to Vienna. He departed from Istanbul on 10 May 1529 and arrived in Vienna on 23 September 1529 (141 days). It was to be the Ottoman Empire's most ambitious expedition to the west, but the Austrian garrison inflicted upon Suleiman his first defeat. A second attempt to conquer Vienna failed in 1532. In 1566, at the age of 72, the sultan led his army for the last time; he died close to Szigetvár in Hungary. More information...
