Walking is a good way to get to know yourself, find your personal limits and surround yourself in nature. To watch a bird flight, to s^pot a mushroom or a flower along the path- things you would miss if you were not walking. Walking with others is a casual and invigorating experience. You will likely meet the countrymen, sometimes as they work. They will tell you stories about our country, our history, our way of life. I do alot of travelling, sometimes with hectic schedules but I always make time to walk - It reminds me of the time I was a pilgrim to Santiago de Compostella.
