Slow Travel Europe – Hiking Trails

Stories about 18 long-distance hikes in 18 European countries with lots of photographs, plus 54 more hikes.

Get inspired to hop on trails that will take you anywhere from the Lofoten Islands in the north to the southernmost tip of Portugal, across England, through the mountains of Slovenia and Switzerland, on a tour of the Benelux countries, or even island hopping in Denmark. This is how you discover Europe on foot, one trail at a time. Long-distance hiking means freedom. It looks like clearing your head by carrying only the bare essentials in your backpack and spending your days and nights out in nature. Prolonged amounts of time on trail can give you the gift of discovering yourself, both physically and mentally, but it can also simply mean enjoying good food in mountain huts, making new friends, or even sleeping under the stars. It feels like trail magic! Our motto is simple: Hike Slow, Go Far. We believe that hiking, including long-distance hiking, is for everyone. Happy trails!
