Hiking Trails

People have small yards in Europe.  But they can walk on trails between all the farms.  No one can stop them from walking on these trails.  















There are also well maintained trails through the woods everywhere.

While walking, its not odd to come across a bar, restaraunt, or farm that offers drinks, snacks, or meals along the trails. 













Walking clubs are common in small towns, and so are trips to the Alps to hike up mountains.

Since most villages and cities are very condensed, most people live close enough to farms, woods, and trails to go for walks everyday without having to drive to get there.
