Hikers simply cannot get enough of the natural landscapes that are best enjoyed on foot. Once the winter season is over, go trekking in the forests or along the mountainous coastal region. Try even the most challenging hiking routes such as Romsdalseggen, Preikestolen, Besseggen, and Trolltunga, or delve into a self-guided walking trip to Senja Island in the north of Lofotens. Along the way, you will come across Mefjordvær, a fishing village and an ideal destination to watch the midnight sun and Northern Lights.
What better way to relax than on the most active beach in Italy! Whether you are new to scuba diving and snorkelling or are eager to explore, Capo Bianco is the best spot for active holidays in Europe. Swim in the calm sea that remains tranquil even on windy days. Relax and watch the water transitioning from bright turquoise to deep blue.
If you are confident about your level of fitness, the Balkans are a great place to cycle. Kickstart the journey at Dubrovnik Croatia; pass through Montenegro; and finish the race at Sarajevo, Bosnia. Cycle on the Ciro trail, a splendid track parallel to the old railway line of Austro-Hungarian. Expect a stiff path at the Ostrog Monastery that eventually curves into a cliff. Your way to Mostar will be downhill, passing through a 16th-century bridge.
Ferne Island is is one of the biggest seabird hubs in Europe. Don't let the summer months pass before you spot some puffins on Farne Islands. Over 150,000 puffins breed along the Northumberland coast, and a great herd of seals also loiter on the rocks. If you wish to get closer, there is always a boat waiting. A flock of seabirds will be nesting along the scenic Northumberland shore.
Winter doesn't have to be gloomy in Europe. Walk over the snow in the Carpathian mountains. You will be hiking through untouched snowfall and exploring the karsts in the Apuseni Mountains in one of Europe's lesser visited countries. Be sure to enjoy a glass of local wine afterwards!
