Shortlist of 23 of the best hikes in the world
Cape to Cape boasts “some of the finest scenery in Australia”
UK, Spain and US also home to best hikes in the world
Other hikes to make the shortlist included the Pennine Way in the United Kingdom. “Stretching 268 miles from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is the United Kingdom’s most famous long distance path,” CNN said.
Also ranking highly was Spain’s Camino de Santiago de Compostela. “Rather than following a single path, the Camino, also known as the Way of St. James, is actually a series of different pilgrimage routes, all ending at the shrine of the apostle St. James in the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela,” the article said.
It also featured the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail “billed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world”. “It runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote country in the United States,” CNN said. “That means it’s an undertaking, either for those with endless vacation allowance, or walkers looking to do a small chunk of a classic route.”
