Trekking is an outdoor experience of a special kind. Getting up with the sunrise, enjoying a coffee from the gas or spirit stove in the middle of nature, full of anticipation of an exciting day of hiking: this feeling is simply indescribable. It is not for nothing that trekking is becoming more and more popular as a leisure activity. If you want to try trekking or if you already have experience and are looking for new tours, tips and ideas, you are at the right place.
Trekking – that means hiking for several days and enjoying nature. You can spend the night in a tent, on a hut or under the open sky. Wild camping is not allowed in many countries and regions, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy trekking tours – in Europe and all over the world. Everything you need to know about preparation, equipment, tour planning and exciting trekking routes can be found here.
