The Balkans, New Zealand, Georgia and Japan are starters in the quest for the best hikes.
For anyone that can remember the Balkans conflict of the 1990s, it’s hard to believe there’s now a hiking trail through the heart of this once war-torn region – an epic 2000-kilometre-long route from Slovenia to Albania that traverses Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Highlights in Bosnia and Herzegovina include meandering through wildflower-peppered valleys enroute to Outlaw’s Gate, a striking natural stone archway located almost 2000 metres up Cvrsnica Mountain. You’ll also comb the windswept foothills of Cincar Mountain looking for wild horses and visit Lukomir, the country’s highest and most remote village – a cluster of tin-roofed shepherd huts surrounded by 12th-century medieval tombstones.
The Georgian section is the best-developed and during World Expeditions’ 10-day Transcaucasian Trail Hike Georgia you’ll experience the vibrant food scene, art nouveau architecture and spectacular riverside setting of its intriguing capital, Tbilisi.
Along the way, you’ll climb up and over the Seven Sisters, seven striking chalk bluffs that are a gentle prelude to England’s tallest chalk sea cliff, the soul-stirring 162-metre-high Beachy Head. SeeIf you haven’t done the Camino de Santiago hike yourself, you probably know someone who has. This ancient pilgrimage in north-west Spain is only getting more popular thanks to countless books, movies and celebrity endorsements.
