Fantastic storytelling.
A wonderful creation.
This really stood out.
Thanks for creating this.
Pure creativity.
A joy to watch.
This video just made me happy.
If I lived 1000 lifetimes, I would still not have enough time to do all the hiking I want to do.
A very nice summary, lovely to see. Am glad to have done some of these when I was younger 🌻🌞
Thanks Alice. I definitely got to do some of these backpacking trails.
Cool 😎
Very captivating.
Interesting and informative video. Great views of Europe. Slovenia 🇸🇮 would be something to hike, next to Austria 🇦🇹. Sweden could have been considered but the mosquito factor was decisive. Nothing worst than being outdoors surrounded by thousands of blood thirsty mosquitos 🦟. Therefore, my choice would be the Camino De Santiago. The pilgrimage from France 🇫🇷 to Portugal 🇵🇹. There is no mention in this video actually. It is a renown path, busy during high season and be aware of bed bugs in those hostels, but there is a way around it : a tent ⛺️ although for such distance to cover, the longest stretch is about 817 kms, a hiker HAS to travel light. As usual, thanks for sharing Alice 🌻
I just returned from two weeks of hiking in Austria. But I didn’t see much of the stunning views. It was only 12 degrees Celsius with lots of rain. On the scarse occassions that it was dry, a lot if mist and clouds were forming blocking the view. But regardless of that the hikes itself were great. Even experienced some fresh summer snow at higher altitudes and waterfalls litterally everywhere.
From your list the Slovenia hike looks very nice. Defenitely on my bucketlist. Maybe I can get my daughter excited for it to do next year.
Very pleasing to watch.
So informative and clear.
One of the best I've seen.
This video made me so excited about European hiking, I wish I could see many of these places when I retire!
This was surprisingly interesting.
Beautiful visuals.
pretty dope list !
At 71, and in pretty good shape, I am wondering if you can day hike most of these? Especially interested in the Dolomites…
Such an epic roundup.. so many amazing trails across Europe! Iceland and the Julian Alps especially look unreal 👍

Super well done.
Brilliant from start to finish.
Speaking of crossing countries, the Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 trail, including the segment of Malbun is a must in my opinion with views across the Rhine River and Alps. But don’t tell them.
We just finished a section on the Adlerweg. It was one of my favorite shorts I’ve made on my channel because it’s literally filled with the cuties cows
I thought wild camping was´nt allowed in most of europe. Thanks for pointing out the places where it is still allowed. Subbed!
You’re a true talent.
How do you hand language issues? I am a 1 language dumb american.
Good list but too much of your stock footage is not from the actual trails, for example a scene from the Isle of Skye under the WHW segment. June may be impossible for Laugavegur as transportation to the highlands may not be available due to closed f-roads.
Do you all do solo?
I love to do but I'm not confident enough to do as solo
Tour du Mont Blanc, peaks of the Balkan, Camino de Santiago
