From the Lofoten to the very tip of Portugal, right through England, through the mountains of Slovenia and Switzerland, a tour of the Benelux or island hopping in Denmark. Discover Europe on foot and with a backpack on your back. A long-distance hike means freedom. Only taking the bare essentials with you, spending the whole day in nature and clearing your head. Meeting yourself, both physically and mentally, but also simply: eating well in a mountain hut, making new friends, sleeping in a tent or under the stars. Trail magic! In this book you will find the most beautiful long-distance hikes in 18 European countries. They run in the green, through the mountains and along the coast. Both short and long routes, varying from very easy to challenging and technical. Hike slow, go far: hiking, also a long-distance hike, is for everyone.
