I will have almost a week in Europe following a conference in early Sept. I'm looking for additional suggestions for some routes that would be suitable for walking. I'm considering the tour du mt blanc and teh Haute Route from Zermatt to Mt. Blanc, but I suspect both are likely to be crowded and not at all like any wilderness I've known in the past. I'm looking for a less well travelled path in the 100 mile (160km) range in western or eastern Europe.

Any 'less well travelled path in the 100 mile (160km) range' is going to be poorly marked. If it is in the mountains I wouldn't recommend that until you know the area.
Any high route there is GOOD!
Cheers
