UNIQUE WALKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

THE BERLIN WALL, GERMANY

This memorial is an excellent opportunity to see the section of the

Berlin Wall that is still standing and to wander around the death

strip, the grassy no-man’s-land that separated the inner wall on the

east side from the larger outer wall on the west. It’s a fascinating

trip through modern European history, with all the memorials for

those who died trying to climb over the wall, reminding tourists of

the dark history of the place and how politics can divide a nation

and even a family.

ROB ROY WALK, SCOTLAND

This walk follows the steps of legendary Scottish hero Rob Roy

MacGregor, and you will definitely come to know the history of Scotland

as you walk through glens, along rivers, and past mountains and lochs.

This is undoubtedly one of the most majestic parts of the UK countryside.

THE LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE

The Loire is considered Europe’s last untamed river and so for this

reason in 2000 UNESCO gave official recognition to the Loire Valley

for its architectural heritage and its breath taking, untouched

natural environment.

APHRODITE AND ADONIS WALK, CYPRUS

The gorgeous Akamas peninsula, on the northwest tip of Cyprus

has a unique beauty. The peninsula owes its exceptional character not

only to its attractive, rich natural landscapes but also to the vast wealth

of Hellenic history and mythology dating back three thousand years.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, SPAIN 

This ancient pilgrimage route, dating from the tenth century, is a very

popular path and tourist attraction today, both for religious and

secular reasons. Traditionally crossing through some of the most

charming, bucolic parts of France and Spain, the end goal is the

Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, in northwest Spain.

MARGARET ISLAND, HUNGARY

Margaret Island offers a restful, pleasant hideaway from hectic

downtown Budapest with large green areas, flowery gardens,

old trees, and lots of entertainment. The island will offers many

stunning attractions including medieval ruins, a small zoo, a

musical fountain, a water tower, swimming pools, a water park,

an open-air theatre and cinema, and some great clubs. It is a

great place to escape after a long tiring day in the big city.

PAYS DOGON, MALI

“The land of the Dogon people,” as it is also known, has the reputation

of being one of Africa’s finest regions. According to the local tour

guides, a proper trek there can last anywhere from two to ten days

and takes in the soaring cliffs of the Bandiagara escarpment inlaid

with old abandoned cliff dwellings. Dogon villages dot the cliffs and

are the astonishing highlight of the journey.

BRYCE CANYON, USA

The locals claim that there’s no place in the world like Bryce Canyon

and despite this sounding like an overstatement it might not be that

far from the truth. They also say that words or even photographs fail

to describe the uniqueness of Bryce Canyon and only by visiting it can

you sense its rare magnitude.

METEORA, GREECE

Meteora was originally settled by Greek Orthodox monks who lived

in caves during the eleventh century. It is considered a remarkable

achievement of human creativity and by taking a walk there you will

find yourself admiring the striking dichotomy of imposing and

intimidating cliffs; and the triumphant construction of

human architecture.
