Trekking ( English trek , strenuous march ‘) is a common term for multi-day hikes without the need for permanent accommodation and tent, partly away from infrastructure such as roads or paths.
Trekking is possible on foot as long-distance hiking , but also as hiking, by bicycle, canoe, ski touring, cross-country skis or snowshoes .
Trekking in remote , sparsely populated areas is referred to as wilderness trekking . Difficult, mostly scientific projects, in the travel industry also for organized wilderness trips that have not yet been undertaken so, are commonly referred to as an expedition .
The motivation lies mostly in nature experience, sportsmanship and the desire to encounter original cultures and nature. In addition to average fitness , tour operators also require mental strength and knowledge of general wilderness skills . Sufficient knowledge and skills are for your own safety. However, trekking is not a ” survival in the bush “. The knowledge and skills of both overlap, however.
Trekking as a form of use of nature reserves is subject to the respective national laws and prohibitions regarding nature reserve and restricted military area . Some of these permits are needed to limit the number of people in a given area in a given time. Some areas can therefore only be visited with the help of tour operators.
