    1. 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 🌻

    2. 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.

      6:22 Slovenia – Triglav Traverse
      7:08 Romania – Fagaras Mountains

    4. 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.

    5. 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.
