10 roads worth at least once in your life

All of us have long had time to enjoy comfortable travel, with convenient flights, hotels and other all-inclusive. But the true spirit of adventure only appears when traveling with a backpack behind. This is how one can truly get to know another country, test one's strengths and feel oneself a part of our beautiful Earth.

We have put together the most amazing hiking trails around the world for you.

Stairway to Heaven, Hawaii

The Haiku Trail or the so-called Stairway to Heaven is an iconic extreme route of 4,000 steps on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It was made by the American military during World War II to get to the antennas located on the hills. Local authorities from time to time close the dangerous staircase, but there are no fewer people wishing to climb it. Yes, if you are going there, remember - it is better not to look down.

Shikoku Pilgrimage Way, Japan

On the island of Shikoku, the charm of ancient Japan has been preserved intact. Therefore, not only Buddhist pilgrims in conical hats, but also crowds of tourists go along the road that runs through the whole island. The route takes as long as two months, and during this long walk you can see 88 ancient Buddhist temples with the most beautiful Japanese gardens and find peace in the soul.

Inca Trail, Peru

The ancient road, built by the Incas, has survived for almost 6 centuries, and today local guides drive tourists along it. The road then dives into the jungle, then climbs high into the mountains, and in the end a real revelation awaits you - the "city in heaven", the holy city of the Incan empire Machu Picchu.

Sarek National Park, Sweden

Lapland Province is not a fairy tale, but the scenery here is of fabulous beauty. You can get acquainted with its wild northern nature in the Sarek National Park. Here travelers are waiting for the highest mountains of Sweden, rivers, glaciers, northern lights and an indescribable sense of freedom.

Lycian Trail, Turkey

Holidays from the category of "all inclusive" - this is not all that Turkey can offer. She's cooler than we used to think. The Lycian trail will reveal the wonders of this country: from azure desert bays to tombs in the rocks that were left almost 3 millennia ago by the inhabitants of ancient Lycia.

Bay of Lights, Australia

Overland Trail, Australia

The famous Australian route passes through the most beautiful places of Tasmania past high mountain peaks, lakes with crystal clear water, waterfalls and heather fields. Wombats, echidnas, kangaroos and other funny local animals are included.

Way of St. James, Spain

Pilgrims went along this road to the Middle Ages to bow to the grave of the patron saint of Spain - the Apostle James. Nowadays, the route has again become popular, and the Diary of a Magician Paolo Coelho played a significant role in this. Today, it is not only pilgrims who follow it, but also all those who strive for self-knowledge - this is a kind of symbolic road to themselves. In the end, many make tattoos in the form of shells - a symbol of the Way of St. James.

Zion National Park, USA

Zion - a heap of rocks and stone plateaus, rugged by deep canyons and fancy tunnels. And all this is painted in different colors: pink, orange, red, emerald and blue. In this fantastic place, it's hard to believe that you are on planet Earth.

Footpath around Annapurna, Nepal

From this trip around the Annapurna massif, no one has yet returned. Nepal is the most magnificent mountains in the world, the deepest ravines in the world, Buddhist temples and places of power lost in the mountains.
