In many cases, feeling happy means that you feel at home somewhere. For many travelers, that connection is extra strong during a walk in nature. That is why we share the 101 most beautiful hikes in the world in this double summer edition. Travel with us to the most beautiful mountains, volcanoes, coasts, forests and villages. We also pay attention to epic adventures, pilgrim routes, walking safaris, winter walks and beautiful tours close to home.

A world also opens up for you on the bike. Austria is a cycling country par excellence. From a steep climb through the mountains to a flat trip along the water: we reveal fourteen multi-day cycling routes – and manageable stages that you can complete in one day. You can also indulge your outdoor passion in Valais, Switzerland. Be inspired to discover the Valais Alps in an active way.

Some areas really are and still feel like a terra incognita. On the border between Kenya and Uganda you experience Africa as it once was and come into contact with fascinating cultures and traditions. The interior of Uruguay is the Wild West of Latin America. Step beyond the imaginary frontier and visit a world where old traditions and new ideas merge: from a boomtown for food and art lovers to one of the most spectacular cultural festivals in the world.
