Porthcurno to Land's End

This scenic 6.5-mile (10.6km) point-to-point hike along the South West Coast Path links the iconic white sands of Porthcurno with the absolute westernmost tip of England: Land's End, often continuing slightly further to the huge surfing beach at Sennen Cove. It is a walk defined by dramatic granite cliffs, hidden coves, and the relentless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean. You will pass the spectacular jutting headland of Treryn Dinas (home to the precarious Logan Rock), drop into tiny sandy inlets like Porthgwarra (famous from Poldark), and finally arrive at the striking sea stacks off Land's End.

Deep within the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Prossautal is a valley that branches off the Kötschachtal near Bad Gastein. This long but mostly flat trail follows the Kötschach Ache river into a classic glacial box valley. The rock walls on either side rise significantly, with multiple thin waterfalls cascading down the granite faces. The trail ends at the Alpengasthof Prossau, a traditional alpine inn positioned near the base of the Tischler glacier.
