Ideas for a Hiking Holiday

The holiday organisers will have done all the research for you. They have sought out the best hiking holiday sites which offer trails, both long and short, challenging and gentle. They have walks for you, and they have hikes. Whether it's five miles along rolling carriage roads you desire or a steeper ascent to a rocky peak, they have it all here.

On a hiking trip you can experience the backcountry on foot where the sounds of a rippling stream in an otherwise silent canyon, the rustle of newly fallen autumn leaves with the approach of a deer, or the sweet taste of just-ripened huckleberries highlight the moment.

"The World Outdoors" offers small groups and two guides on most hiking trips, this allows for an intimate and unhurried way to experience nature's wonders. They offer a range of hiking options almost every day from relaxing lakeside walks to heart-pumping mountain treks all personalized to suit your mood.

UNITED STATES

Let them show you the places they've discovered that you can only get to on foot, a rustic mountain lodge in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, a remote, water-filled oasis hidden in a Utah slickrock canyon, or a Native American village nestled in a far corner of the Grand Canyon. Go travel with them, one step at a time, on one of their many great hiking vacations.

POLAND

Poland is renowned for its vast areas of unspoilt natural landscapes, and Biebrza is its largest National Park, and has been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the late 1970s. This area has over 500km of beautiful and breathtaking hiking trails, and over 130 kayaking routes along the rivers and lakes. This is a fantastic area for anyone who is interested in wildlife, as it is home to hundreds of rare and protected species, including over 200 native European bison that have been literally saved from extinction. A lot of the park is so wild it is inaccessible, and it is advised that hiking parties are supervised by a local guide, as conditions can be challenging in some areas. Accommodation is available at the main Hunter’s Lodge or in several dedicated camping areas, and the park has a central train station, connecting it to the surround areas, including the capital Warsaw.
