Who are themed hikes suitable for?

Themed hikes are ideal for families, nature enthusiasts, culture lovers and hikers who want to learn more about the region and its history. They often offer shorter and easy routes. They are particularly suitable for people who like to be entertained or solve puzzles along the way, which is why such hikes are also ideal for children.

The most beautiful themed trails for families

There is a lot to discover on hikes through varied mountain landscapes, but often too little is known about them.
