Holidays in nature are booming. While hiking, campfires and spending the night in a tent were considered “out” some time ago, more and more people are now drawn out into the wilderness. Glamping is a great way to enjoy contact with nature. However, for a trip that will be remembered years later, you need more than just great accommodation.

The right environment

Glamping and camping are not equally enjoyable everywhere. In overcrowded places in unattractive surroundings, sleeping close to nature is not much fun. It looks completely different Regions that boast originality, untouched wilderness and special places. Travelers don't even have to leave Europe to reach them. Scandinavia as well as Portugal, Spain and even Germany have unique natural spots to offer. In the right environment, glamping feels so special because it doesn't look like everywhere else. Anyone who wakes up in the morning in the middle of the Portuguese forest knows this feeling of strangeness and yet security. A vacation quickly turns into an adventure with a suitable backdrop. In this case, glampers should not forget their camera, because photos of the nature around the accommodation bring the travel magic into the living room and bedroom as a printed photo on canvas .

Unforgettable experiences

Of course, spending the night in nature is already an experience that differs from other vacations. However, boredom can quickly arise even on a glamping holiday. If you spend the entire day in your accommodation, the blanket can even fall on your head in the tent. A trip like this is ideal for leaving your comfort zone and doing things that broaden your horizons.

Which activities these are must be answered individually. In Portugal, for example, a surfing course can provide enough adrenaline, while elsewhere white water rafting, bungee jumping, climbing or skydiving are on the agenda. Travelers should get an overview of the local options before their stay and, if necessary, make reservations in good time. When it comes to glamping, there is usually a competent contact person who can provide information about unusual activities in the surrounding area.

Urban and wild hiking

The lack of a large hotel complex or holiday home around one's own bed reduces travelers' perceived separation from their surroundings. This makes it all the easier to get in touch with nature on site to make and explore the region. There are usually countless opportunities for hikers to plan long and short tours. Nature is undoubtedly the focus of wild hiking. It is advisable to look for suitable routes before traveling and to find out about safety at the destination. A good source for hiking routes around the world is outdooractive.com .

Participation in geocaching while traveling could also be interesting for adventure seekers. There are now little treasures to be discovered almost everywhere by curious hikers. Equipped with a special app, holidaymakers can then solve puzzles, find paths and, after a successful search, sign themselves in the small logbooks. Geocaching.com reveals exactly how geocaching works and where the nearest caches are.

However, the increasingly popular urban hiking can also be exciting when it comes to hiking. Here travelers consciously move out of nature and into the city. Especially in large cities and well-known metropolises, there is now a solid range of hikes that lead past sights and insider tips. Terminal-y.de has published a nice report about urban hiking.

Companions and encounters

A trip all alone can certainly have its attractive aspects. If you want to escape everyday stress and find yourself while traveling, you should definitely travel without a companion and just concentrate on yourself. Many people who have tried this talk about very special experiences afterwards and actually return calmer and happier.

Most of the time, however, it is not the solo trips that are remembered. Friends, partners and sometimes even relatives are far too important to leave behind. Sharing great experiences while hiking simply feels better for the majority of glampers, because the emotional component cannot be underestimated. The feelings of fellow travelers are an important indicator of the holiday feeling. Being overwhelmed, exhausted, happy, proud or curious together brings us together and creates bonds of a special quality.

Conclusion: Those who think extraordinarily experience more

In summary, it can be said that an unforgettable trip is always characterized by experiences that are not often repeated in life. Trips to picturesque places, trying out new things and courageous approaches to real adventures form a mix that underlines the philosophy of modern wanderlust. Anyone who shares all of this with friends and loved ones will later be able to tell countless stories, not a single one of which will cause boredom.
