ranges that are located in the territory of France but is connected to other places in Europe such as Italy and Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is this a <a

years because of its other worldly sights made famous by Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings.<\/p>\n<p>Just so you know, the Southern Alps can be found not only in France but also in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>These alps themselves are already popular among mountaineers because of its breathtaking and challenging landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from mountains, <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreentravelgreen.com\/traveling-new-zealand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Zealand<\/a> has a number of volcanoes and circuits that you can trek

Ireland, you\u2019ll find the Giants Causeway which is a 33-mile hiking trail that is sure to give your stamina a run for its money.<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing about this place is that it\u2019s a trail wherein a volcano erupted which is why there are many basalt columns present in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Just so you know, it\u2019s actually a World Heritage Site, so you can just imagine how beautiful it is.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, you\u2019ve got the Cronin\u2019s Yard Loop.<\/p>\n<p>This trail might not be as strenuous as the previously mentioned one, but it\u2019s got some sights to behold.<\/p>\n<p>This hiking trail is located in Carrauntoohil and has a stonewall trail that you need to follow.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great place to travel to if ever you\u2019re into medieval scenery.<\/p>\n<p>From the entry point of the stonewall trail, the path gets a little rocky and difficult to tread through.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re a hiker, you won\u2019t really mind that.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

naturally head to is the Scafell Pike.<\/p>\n<p>We chose this hiking trail because it\u2019s actually the highest mountain in the area.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get to the Scafell Pike, you\u2019ll have to go through the Corridor Route beginning from Styhead Tarn.<\/p>\n<p>From there, you\u2019ll get to see a lot of beautiful scenery such as mountains, lakes, valleys, and other cool things to see.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re after a challenge, then you\u2019ll want to check out the Blencathra.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get to Blencathra, you need to go through the Sharp Edge which, as the name implies, has a sharp edge to climb.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to reach Blencathra is through the Halls Fell Ridge.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s less challenging than Sharp Edge, but it\u2019s also pretty much as beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The England has plenty of hiking spots but none quite as stunning as the Lake District.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
