Albanian Coastal Trail

The Albanian Coastal Trail is a rugged multi-day trek traversing the Ionian coastline of the Albanian Riviera. Bounded by the Ceraunian Mountains to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west, the route connects the high Llogara Pass to the coastal town of Himarë and beyond to Lukovë. The trail is defined by its transition from high-altitude pine forests to isolated pebble beaches (Gjipe, Grama) and ancient Orthodox villages. It operates in an underdeveloped coastal wilderness zone where significant segments lack road access, requiring self-sufficiency and navigation through dense Mediterranean maquis and karst limestone terrain.

Canyon adventure near Reykjavík. Glymur was long regarded as Iceland’s tallest waterfall (198m / 650ft) until the glacial retreat revealed Morsárfoss in 2007. Regardless, it remains one of the most scenic and technically engaging day hikes just an hour's drive from the capital. Tucked into the back of Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord), the 7km loop hike offers a genuine sense of adventure. The route involves crossing the Botnsá river via a suspended log, navigating a natural stone cave, and ascending steep, often muddy canyon rims equipped with fixed rope handholds for stability. The reward is an aerial view into a moss-covered chasm where the massive falls plunge through a narrow slit in the volcanic rock.
