What's the best backpacking location in Europe?
>>2853071Probably flying to the US to do the Appalachian Trail and have an actual backpacking experience.
>>2853073If I wanted to spend money on flying, why would I choose Appalachia like if I didn't have large area of small mountains in my country instead of something like Peru, Nepal or New Zealand?
Late spring/Summer in the Mercantour or western Pyrénées (vallée d'Ossau in particular)
>>2853094i spent a day closeby earlier this year, but on the spanish side. how is it in winter? is midi d'ossau easy? are there ungarded huts?
>>2853122Haven't been to Pyrenees but after checking maps I can tell with certainty that vallée d'Ossau and Cauterets vale have the most bears/old growth forestsI know more of the Mercantour. As for huts, you can check them on https://www.refuges.info/
>>2853071Turkey
>>2853091cause the AT is backpacking everything is is downhill of that idea. its the hippie experience every normie wants, if anyone of those people went on a real wilderness trip they'd go insane just from having to be alone.
>>2853071ah another finland thread very nice
>>2853188what if you're already too lonely in your daily life and need to take every chance at socializing in order not to go insane ?(asking for a friend)
>>2853190That's the AT. What do you think the shelters are for?
