Disclaimer:
Hikes and Walks here in this Group are not guided tours. Instead, these are casual meetups of individuals responsible for their own actions, choices and judgment. The organizers are not responsible for any injury or other accidents that might happen during the hike. By signing up on the activity, the participants agree that the organizers will not be held responsible in any way. Although the hike are usually not complicated, it is each individual responsibility to ensure that they can do the hike and check out the trail.### Who are we?
We have been meeting for several years to walk parts of the Camino de Santiago on the third Saturday of each month. Many of us come regularly, and we are currently walking towards Rome. Each hike starts where the last one ended. Our main goal is to enjoy the hike — it is easy and mostly on paved paths with gentle slopes. We usually walk about 20 km, sometimes more. If you can’t walk that far, there are usually ways to leave the hike early. This hike will be easy and fun, showing beautiful nature as well as some less exciting parts. Remember, the journey is the destination! You are welcome to join for just part of the hike or the whole route. You can collect stamps along the way, and who knows — maybe one day you will reach Rome, Santiago de Compostela, or even Jerusalem.
### How we hike: Section by Section
Our idea is simple: We walk long hiking trails in small parts (sections). We always start our next walk exactly where we finished the last one. This way, we slowly cross the whole country together.
### Is it difficult?
- Easy walks: Most of our hikes are technically easy. You don’t need to be a professional athlete.
- Flexible distance: Our walks can be long, but there is often an „early exit“. This means you can stop after about 10 km if you prefer a shorter day.
### Details
- When: We meet every 3rd Saturday of the month.
- Current Route: We are currently walking the Via Francisca del Lucomagno (Lukmanier).
