Destinations / Europe

According to this year’s Global Wellness Summit Trend Report, people are rediscovering the beauty of exploring nature. Walking enthusiasts are ready to get out and explore trails around the world, connect with nature, and learn more about an area’s cultural heritage while on multiday hikes. With European countries battling overtourism, remote locations and trekking trails gain more and more traction.

 

Here’s a look at different trails to choose from throughout Europe:

 

The John Muir Way

One of Scotland’s Great Trails, The John Muir Way offers a unique journey through Scotland’s landscapes, history and heritage. The route passes through Scotland’s first national park, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs. It also offers the chance to connect with nature and explore the green spaces that link the coasts, villages, towns and capital city. This journey can not only serve as a physical trek but also as a path of reflection and inspiration.

 

A Walk Along the Coast of Denmark

For those looking for a mix of physical challenges and beautiful scenery, the Walk Along the Coast of Denmark tour takes travelers from Copenhagen to Helsingør. Hikers can take in the stunning sites of the Øresund strait throughout the trek. During the journey, make stops at Kronborg Slot Castle and Maritime Museum.

 

Wachau Valley

This UNESCO Heritage site right outside of Vienna, Austria, features views of a preserved medieval landscape and the Danube River. The Wachau Valley trek combines natural beauty, historical and religious sites, and cultural richness.
