The Top Hiking Tours to Take in Europe
Lace up your hiking boots and fill the cracks with dirt from around Europe on these top European hiking adventures.
Exploring Europe’s diversity means venturing far from the cosmopolitan cities and capitals of culture. We’re talking about exploring a remote island off Scotland’s coast, trekking through the Azores and tracing the mountains of Georgia. Your hiking boots have sat collecting dust long enough; make an impression on their soles with one of these unforgettable hiking tours through Europe, laced and knotted into these small-group trips.
Georgia and the Caucasus
You have yet to discover just how much you’ll appreciate Lagodekhi National Park. After five hours of hiking through the Caucasian foothills, with nothing but the sounds of the forest and rivers, you’ll discover a fondness for Georgia that far exceeds your penchant for Georgian wine. Don’t imbibe too much of the vino, though, as your trekking doesn’t end at Tbilisi’s wine bars. It’s a three-hour trudge up to the medieval Gergeti Trinity Church the following day. Luckily, Tbilisi’s soothing sulphur baths will be waiting at the end of this trip.
