Green Travel Champion 2024: Frauke Dobers is travelling sustainably across Europe
15.04.2025
From Dornbirn to Burgos – sustainably across Europe!
In 2024, Frauke Dobers, RUN-EU Manager at FHV, took on a unique challenge. For a training programme within the European University alliance RUN-EU, she chose to travel entirely by public and environmentally friendly transport – earning her the Green Travel Award from the International Office.
Her journey covered 3,333.3 km and took her through five countries: Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, and Spain. Using 11 trains and 4 buses, she demonstrated that climate-conscious mobility isn’t just an ideal – it’s achievable, affordable, and incredibly enriching.
From scenic rail rides along the French coast with views of flamingos and kitesurfers to productive work hours on high-speed trains – Frauke experienced Europe not only geographically, but also culturally. Her story is a testament to the value of slowing down and engaging more deeply with the journey itself.
Congratulations to Frauke for her inspiring commitment to sustainable mobility – and thank you for leading by example at FHV!
