Every time we visit a new travel destination, we usually go for a hike or two. After visiting more than 50 countries, we now made a list of 10 scenic hikes around the world, which we think, are worth your time and perhaps your sweat drops. Ready? Let's have a look:

10 Scenic Hikes around the World
1# The Drakensberg Hike, South Africa
There is a scenic hike at the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa which you should really know about - it's called the Blindman's Corner hike. The path takes you first through the misty forest, until it finally opens up, offering amazing views over the spectacular mountains and valleys. The hike is steady, not too steep.
Duration: 6 hours
Difficulty: medium
2# Ponta do Sao Lourenco, Madeira
One of the most scenic hikes around the world is definitely Ponta do Sao Lourenco at Madeira island, Portugal. It's one of those hikes you will never forget. Hiking along the cliffs, views over the sea.. oh man, it was so beautiful. It can't be described in words. Our recommendation - go in the morning hours since it can get pretty hot out there.
Duration: 3 - 4 h
Difficulty: easy to medium
3# The Gergeti Hike, Georgia
If you find yourself in Stepantsminda in Georgia, make sure to do the epic hike from the village to the Gergeti trinity church. It gives you nice views over the surrounding mountains and the village. You will love it!
Duration: 1.5 h
Difficulty: medium
4# Tindstinden, Norway
Are you planning a trip to the Lofoten islands in Norway? Then this hike should make it onto your list. Climb the scenic mountain called Tindstinden - a great alternative to the world-famous Reinebergen hike in the Lofoten. As the latest got dangerous due to falling rocks, Tindstinden is equally beautiful and the views from up there are outstanding. Honestly speaking, this is the best hike we've EVER done.
Duration: 3 - 4 h
Difficulty: hard
5# Macchu Pichu Hike, Peru
Agua Calientes - here is where the real climbing to Machu Picchu starts. The official door to the Machu Picchu mountain opens at 5 am. and then? 1720 stairs. Yep. Quite hard. But so worth it once you reach the top! Read more about the trip here.
Duration: 1 h 30 min from Agua Calientes or 1- to 4-day hike depends on the tour
Difficulty: hard
6# The 5-Lakes Hike in Zermatt, Switzerland
This is an extremely beautiful hike near Zermatt (South of Switzerland). You will see 5 different mountain lakes, each one special in its colour. To start you hike at Blauherd, you will need to take the cable car from Zermatt to the cable car station called Sunnega. Then take a lift to Blauherd. Find more details here.
Duration: 2 h 30 min
Difficulty: easy to medium
7# Lüner Lake, Austria
This unbelievable beautiful Austrian mountain lake with its altitude of 1970 m and right at the border with Switzerland offers a scenic hiking trail you should go for! The colours of the lake are fantastic. A hike everyone should do once.
Duration: 1 h to the lake (or take the cable car), another 1 h 30 min around the lake
Difficulty: easy
8# Sapa, Vietnam
We haven't met anyone out there who did the Sapa trekking and wasn't fascinated by it! The beautiful rice fields, lush vegetation, those cultural villages, friendly locals.. something you won't forget that easily.
Duration: 6 h on day 1; 2 h on day 2
Difficulty: medium to hard
9# Vogar, Slovenia
One of the scenic hikes around the world we simply have to mention is the Vogar trail in Slovenia. Once you reach the top, it's the tranquility and the views over Bohinj lake are two among many facts which make this hike so special. Find more details about this hike here.
Duration: 1h 20 min
Difficulty: medium
10# Vista do Rei, The Azores
Last but not least, the scenic hike in the lovely Azores on the Sao Miguel island is worth a mention too. The highlight of this hike is its spectacular viewpoint over the lakes Lake Verde and Lake Azul! Follow the signs to Lagoa of Canario. A view you will never forget. In the same area there is an abandoned hotel (Monte Palace), open for visitors to go at the very top of this building to enjoy the views.
Duration: 2 h
Difficulty: medium

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

My Name ALiice from TX USA. After 12years of marriage, me and my husband have been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night I think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr. Mahlangu can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a Love spell for me. 24 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he missed me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day, our Marriage was now stronger than how it was before, All thanks to Dr. Mahlangu. he is so powerful and I decided to share my story on the Internet with Dr. Mahlangu real and powerful spell caster who I will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now.

I have a testimony to share with everyone in this forum.
Having my ex husband back has brought great joy in my life.
My husband left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that darted me to Dr.Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours. Me and my husband are living happily together today, This man is powerful, you can contact him now.

Giovanni Jahem (Thursday, 27 July 2023 16:02)
My name is Giovanni Jahem. I have gone through rough times with different men finding true love and genuine acceptance until I met my husband who came into my life and loved me beyond words can explain. We lived together for 2 years and we were happy until too many arguments came up and we split our ways. I thought I could move on but I realized i was deeply in love with him and needed forever with him. I had no option than to seek help which led me to contacting Dr Isikolo knowing how he has been able to help others. He gave me his attention and did his best to reconcile us back together and in 48 hours, the result manifested and he came back to me and we made things up again. Now the love and happiness has been restored back and all I can say is that I truly appreciate Dr Isikolo for being selfless in helping me and others.
