2. Italian dolomite Altavia 1

This classic long-distance trail in southern alps is an excellent alternative to crossing the Alps. It's not just a multi-day hiking route. The lush alpine grasslands are dotted with magnificent stone castles and churches-the charm of the dolomite mountains is so strong.

From here, you can see the fantastic landscape of the Lada Glacier in Marmo, as well as monuments and museums to commemorate the soldiers who died in the mountains during World War I.. The scars left by the war are not only printed on the mountains, but also on people's hearts. Some sections need a very steady pace and are not afraid of heights in order to pass smoothly.

4. BOHUSLEDEN Trail, Sweden

Looking around, there are endless forests and lakes everywhere. The hot summer sun doesn't want to go down the mountain, which warms the rocks in Scarborough Gerakl.

This hiking route is so well conceived that it may be the masterpiece of Nordic designers.

The original Bohusleden Trail is one of the most fascinating long-distance hiking routes in Europe.

Stay away from the noise: Walking through the lakes in southern Sweden in a few days is the best way to stay away from modern life.

Even beginners who walk for a long time are very suitable for this trail as long as they are prepared for the wind and rain.

Balance: Wooden sidewalks can be seen everywhere on the King's Trail to help hikers cross the swamps in northern Sweden.
