Hiking is a brilliantly diverse form of physical exercise. You don’t need much equipment or previous knowledge to practice this increasingly popular sport. On this page we introduce you to classic hiking routes on which you will discover rivers and lakes, coasts and beaches, hills and mountains, forests and moors as well as the most beautiful destinations and sights of a region. 

To make sure that everyone can start hiking immediately, most of our route suggestions under the category “Hiking“ lead through easy terrain: wide forest and field paths, well-trodden hiking trails, well-surfaced high altitude or panoramic paths.

We want you to enjoy nature in peace and quiet, explore interesting places, visit recommended places to stop for refreshments – and simply have fun. You do not have to be a fitness fanatic to take huge enjoyment from exploring a hiking trail, some are far more demanding than others though, it is often worth researching routes and understanding your own capabilities.

No matter which route you choose: you should prepare yourself adequately for each hike. Inform yourself about the terrain and the weather conditions and then decide whether the tour is the right one for you, for your fellow hikers and for the given day.
