Hiking

Let yourself be charmed by the trails of the Poppy Country, a region where nature flourishes in all its splendor.

As you follow our marked paths, you'll discover bucolic landscapes, blooming poppy fields, lush meadows, and winding hedgerows. Every stage of the hike is a true immersion in a peaceful environment — perfect for recharging, breathing fresh air, and enjoying the tranquility.

Whether you're a fan of gentle walks or an experienced hiker, our varied routes cater to all levels. Take the time to observe local wildlife, listen to birdsong, admire our scenic viewpoints, or simply let yourself be carried away by the simple beauty of the countryside. The Poppy Country invites you to a genuine moment of relaxation and escape.

Look at the animals, flowers, landscapes and explore our hiking trails at your own rhythm. This will allow you to see the Memory Sites, churches and castles.
