Camping & Hiking

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/6218752

Sorry for the wall of text, but as we put it all down, we realised that we had to add more and more criteria.

We are planning our last trip for this year and are based in Germany. Our plans/funds unfortunately don't allow something as far away as Scotland/Sweden/... so we are looking in Germany, Denmark, BeNeLux, Western France, Austria or Switzerland.

Ideally, this trail is not too much of a misery in autumn. We are fine with lots of ups and down, but not equipped for mountains or very alpine terrain in this time of the year. We would be fine with huts or shelters, but could also wild camp (if it's no too much of a hassle). Doing just a certain section (5days max) would be fine for us as well.

Bonus points for remoteness and beautiful nature. Walking along roads, forestry roads or villages all day is a bit monotone after a while.

Might be that this does not exist; we enjoyed e.g. the West Highland Way very much and are looking forward for Sweden/Norway.

I didn’t make it up unfortunately, I was just getting beat up by the trail (southwest slopes), but it was a gorgeous day and a great hike nonetheless.

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had had the chance to try out these two apps. Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons of each?

Nice hike up Carpenter peak today. ~6.5 miles total

Templeton trail. Palmer Park, Colorado Springs,

I’d like to do the rim to rim trail sometime in the near future but it certainly sounds like a leg shredder.

I did parts of the south and north rim trails a few years ago, but nothing really intense. Those two trails are either paved or well packed dirt.

Permit pending but id like to try the Four Pass Loop in Colorado this summer. I also do a yearly camping trip at Blue Mesa Reservoir near Gunnison, CO.

If you are in Colorado or visiting for some outdoor fun, this is a fairly comprehensive map of official trails in the state. You can generate elevation profiles based on custom trail routes too.
