| | Hiking and Trekking |
This page is for those who love walking, hiking and trekking; the information linked to the mountain world can be found in a separated page.
Very often you can find very valid information on the links dedicated to National Parks; here we won't list them to avoid confusion (they are a lot), you can find them in the pages dedicated to the single Countries.
Sometimes also official sites on tourism provide useful information for hikers, but this rarely happens, so we have listed them here.
Among the sites we have met or which have been pointed out, we list below only those which can provide some useful material to organize a travel (others can be found in the section "Travel stories" of any single Country).
Europe – Canada – Usa
Australia and New Zealand
