Hi Steemians!

Apparently there is nothing better than a walk on a fresh air in the midst of beautiful landscapes!

I and my husband, we adore going to the mountains, visiting new places and enjoying nature.

We thought for a long time where to spend our honeymoon and decided to go hiking in France.

As it turned out, this is a very popular phenomenon here. Families with children and even elderly people challenge the adventure.

The most amazing thing is the opportunity to meet new people, to communicate with them. Everyone tells some interesting stories that happened to him on the road.

We met many interesting people of different nationalities.

The Germans, the French, and even the Koreans decided to go on a search for adventure.

We got acquainted with a very interesting guy from Korea- Namu.

He already has a lot of experience in hiking so he gave us a lot of good advices.

He said that there are 3 most necessary things in every long walking: arnica oil (for the foot massage), homeoplasmine cream ( for the skin irritations) and many pairs of socks.

Namu recommended taking pauses in the campaign every 2 hours so that your legs had the opportunity to relax. It is also necessary to make a light massage of the feet with arnica oil and dress up socks.

If you follow these simple rules, you can walk a long distance and do not rub the corns on your legs.

Another trouble that can be found on the way is insects.

There are many spray mosquitoes and ticks. Be sure to have it with you.

The ticks are very dangerous insects because some of them can infect you with encephalitis. European mosquitoes are not terrible to us in this regard, but for allergists, they are also a threat. It is better to not save on your health and take care of remedies in advance.

In the summer, do not forget to take a cream from the sun. Burns is a very unpleasant thing.

It's very difficult to predict the weather so we bought also raincoats that occupy very little space in the backpack but effectively protect against moisture.

There are many more things that will be useful in the campaign, so it's up to you to choose and take with you.

Remember that you need to take with you only the most necessary things because with a heavy backpack you will not go so far.

I hope that my post was useful for you:)

Best wishes,

Olga:)

Wow, good advice. I'll give some of the tips a try!

It really helps. I wish i could meet this Korean earlier 😁.

I can imagine?

spot on about ticks!

Do you have them in your place? Here we have a lot 😬😬😬

I am very jealous Olga!
What a dream to go hiking in such beautiful surroundings. Is this just a day out or are you camping / staying in accomodation and hiking for a few days?
Either way enjoy your time in nature, there is no better medicine for your health and wellbeing!

It was a hiking for 10 days. We didn't book any hostel or house in advance, we just had a book with tips and advices for tourists in this region so we used that. It was really interesting to try something like this. I will tell more in the next post:)))) Thanks for reading!
