Lifestyle Bookazine World's Greatest Hikes Third Edition Back Issue

There's something special about exploring a place on foot – not only do you get to experience things that simply wouldn’t be possible if you were in a car or on a plane, but walking provides an abundance of benefits for the mind, body and soul. It offers adventure while also providing an opportunity to slow down and switch off; it enables you to face fears and overcome challenges – both mental and physical ones – and it gives you an extraordinary sense of freedom. Not only that, walking allows you to get close to nature and appreciate Planet Earth in all its glory, from grand geological features and iconic natural wonders to unique flora and fauna.
