A Brief History of Archduke Ludwig Salvator Born in 1847, Ludwig Salvator of Austria was a member of the imperial family who chose to distance himself from political life to focus on studying nature, geography, and culture. Captivated by Mallorca on his first visit, he purchased several estates in the Tramuntana Mountains, where he developed projects to protect the environment and document the island in his monumental work, Die Balearen. His legacy includes not only trails like this but also a vision of the island as a place of unique natural and cultural beauty.
