Long-distance footpaths are established trails designed for hiking over extended distances, often spanning several days or weeks. These paths typically traverse diverse landscapes, including mountains, forests, and coastal areas, allowing hikers to experience nature and local culture. Popular examples include the Appalachian Trail in the United States and the Camino de Santiago in Spain. These footpaths are marked and maintained to ensure safety and accessibility for hikers. They often feature designated campsites or accommodations along the route, making it easier for trekkers to plan their journeys. Long-distance footpaths promote outdoor recreation and encourage physical fitness while fostering a connection to the environment.
