Have a look at http://howlingmist.blogspot.ie/ Blog post from Ireland UK and Europe
Wow.
Run, hike, bike, paddle.
All in that glorious landscape. Great trip!
The High Atlas is still little known major tourist routes, geological and cultural diversity that actually hosts a fascinating area to explore.
To be close: http://www.moroccotrekking.net
For sure one of the best hiking areas of the world.

Not the “classical” hikes, but hiking in the rather undiscovered areas, no massa tourism, unspoiled and very beautiful!!! We all walked them ourselves.
Hi there – I think the Dolomites are one of the best and most unique areas in the world to hike and enjoy life. You call the Alta Via 2 the Route of Legends. Couldn’t agree more. Here’s a thorough guide to help you plan:

Thanks. We’ll check out your link.
Hi Rick,
I highly recommend Durmitor National Park in Montenegro for untouched, multi-day hiking and wild camping: https://coolofthewild.com/durmitor-national-park-hiking/
Thanks Joey. I’ll check it out.
Hi to everybody.
I would like to introduce you a new destination for great hiking you might not know very well yet, Cyprus, the island of the eastern Mediterranean! Not only the European Long Distance Path E4 but all the rest of the trails designed by the Forestry Department, will offer you amazing experiences.
Why you don’t discover Cyprus on foot! check this website for all the hiking trails:

Thanks. I don’t know the hikes of Cyprus yet and will check them out.
