Go on a fantastic walking holiday along the Albanian Riviera!

Every year, the Albanian Riviera attracts thousands of happy visitors, and it's easy to see why. With the 2000 metre high Ceuranian peaks at its back and the clear blue water, it's incredibly beautiful - especially when you lace up your hiking shoes and head up into the mountains.

Here you'll find stunning views of the coastline, hiking routes through citrus and olive groves and past idyllic old villages. Enjoy a swim in the sparkling, crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea and savour the many delicious dishes Albanian cuisine has to offer!

Go on an adventure in the Albanian Alps!

A hiking tour in the Albanian Alps is something special. On this tour you'll start at the lively city of Shkodra and you'll travel by bus through the Drin Gorges and sail across the fjord-like Lake Komani. Experience the highest peaks of the Cursed Mountains, crossing from one national park to another, visit the idyllic village of Nderlysaj and dive into the icy waters of the colourful oasis of the Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër) before ending the tour in the lively capital of Tirana.

The tour is a difficulty level 2-3, which means you need to be in reasonable shape to complete the tour. There may be uneven mountain trails, long hiking days and several metres of altitude gain - so a good shape and good hiking boots are essential.

Feel history up close along Hadrian's Wall in England

Hadrian's Wall is an impressive historical monument that stretches across the north of England. The wall was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD to mark and protect the northern border of the Roman Empire in England. Its main purpose was to prevent invasions from the Celtic tribes in what is now Scotland and to control trade and immigration.

The landscape around Hadrian's Wall is varied and beautiful. To the south there are hills and green landscapes, while to the north you'll encounter the more rugged and wild terrain that extends into the Scottish Highlands. This also means you'll experience a beautiful and varied landscape as you walk along Hadrian's Wall Path - the very first National Trail in England to follow the course of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Follow in the footsteps of English poets in the Lake District - England

The Lake District National Park was established back in 1951 to preserve the area's natural beauty and unique environment, and in 2017 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is also known for being the place where some of the great English writers and poets found inspiration. One of them was the poet William Wordsworth, whose 1802 poem 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' was inspired by the sight of daffodils on the banks of Ullswater - a poem whose meaning is still analysed today.

There are many ways to experience the Lake District, one of which is to walk the 112 kilometre Cumbria Way. Stretching from the town of Ulverston on the coast of Morecambe Bay to the town of Carlisle, closer to the border between England and Scotland, the route takes you through some of the most stunning scenery in the Lake District. The route is mainly along valley paths, avoiding the highest mountains and climbs.

Feel the wild nature on the Dingle Way in Ireland!

Have you ever heard of the Dingle Way in Ireland? The route follows the Dingle Peninsula around the Dingle Peninsula and offers some of the most stunning views of the sea.
