Hi @Martiño , That sounds great. I will go out on a hike now too. You can really feel the pull of the weekend!

Sharing some more articles on the wonderful benefits of walking:
The health benefits of walking are endless
Biggest ever study on walking and mortality
I have to say that I agree with Wes Cecil in the Youtube video I posted earlier. All this focus on time and heart rate is undesirable.

I think this a good resource.

@Norwegian-Mugabe I think people would walk more if they weren't stuck in some ugly concrete city. I know I would.

Personally, I don't think normal walking is all that significant to health. Paced walking on the other hand helps me sleep better and improves mood.

@bolditinerary You are dead wrong regarding regular walk. Just read all the material we have already posted. Walking improves health almost as much as anything else.

@bruh You are quite right. Both variety of walking paths, and the potential of good aesthetic experiences increases the deisre to walk. So a better walking experience which is a good thing, increases the amount of walking which is a fantastic thing. Improving life is to a large degree about enganging in positive feedback loops and ending negative feedback loops.
In what way are you stuck with urban ugliness?
Why are you unable/unwilling to move? It sounds like a classic form of learned helplessness to me. -

@Jonnie Lol this is really where it's at. Society is so Wall * E-esque, that we have to go back to the basics. That being said, one should take walking seriously. Walking is one of the biggest parts of our life. How we walk, how much we walk, with whom we walk, and where we walk is of cruicial importane to life outcomes.

@Norwegian-Mugabe Well I plan on moving eventually. I'm a 19 y/o living with my parents so I just need to save up some money first.

What are the best hiking trails in Europe? listening to E. Michael Jones walking in Bavaria makes me want to go for hikes there. I am lucky to live in Norway as the nautre is beautiful. What other landscapes should I consider to go hiking in?

Do you prefer hilly or flat terrain?
Slovenia is great. Small and very beautiful country. Great landscape around Bled, Soča valley, Triglav national park etc. Croatia too.
The Netherlands also have some beautiful national parks if you like it more flat. Bavaria and Austria are great, too.
Although I only live about 4 hours from the border, I've never been to Switzerland. But it should be very nice for hiking there too.

@Luke Thanks for the info. Slovenia seems like a hidden gem. Those places looks like they are from a fairytale.

It's really nice. I was there for two weeks in 2019. Also very nice people. And if you ever go into a city there, they are very clean, unlike Germany where everything is full of trash.
-
@Luke Immigration is the main reason for trash in Germany. You can see a very clear split in European cities based on immigration levels.

Walking is great, love areas that are walkable :). Having someone else drive you is an aristocrat trait and I hate the car obsession in America. Not having a car is an example of the horseshoe theory for the poor and the very rich.

@LinDaiyu nice hahahah

The thing with walks is that when you get off your own personal beaten tracks, even in your city or town, that not so familiar imagery adds up and then... You're back home and everything looks fresh and new.
