Hi!
and a warm hello, I am Christian, chief globetrotter of this site and an enthusiastic adventurer, hiker, tour journalist and filmmaker.
For me, hiking is more than just an activity - it's a way of life, a lifelong dream and pure passion. I love discovering new trails, inspiring people and sharing my knowledge of long-distance hiking trails with you. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hiker, here you'll find valuable tips on the most beautiful and impressive hiking tours on our unique planet.
My goal is to encourage people to explore the world on foot - whether in the countryside, through dense forests or over majestic mountains. Walking is the most natural way of getting around, strengthens the body and mind and opens up completely new perspectives. If you don't walk, you haven't really seen the world!
I especially love long-distance hiking trails in Europe and around the world, which I would of course love to share with you. So lace up your hiking boots and let's go on a journey of discovery together!
lifelong dream of hiking
Since my hike on the Dream Trail in 2018, my fascination with long-distance hiking has never left me. It has led me along some of the most impressive long-distance hiking trails in Europe and beyond.
I explored the spectacular Skye Trail in Scotland, hiked numerous long-distance trails in Austria, including the impressive Carnic High Trail and the challenging Glockner Circuit, and experienced the breathtaking island crossing on Madeira. But my adventures took me even further - to fascinating long-distance trails around the world, where I discovered untouched landscapes, wild nature and the limitless freedom of hiking.
This is how HikingFex.com was born
During the Corona pandemic, I had the vision of hiking all the long-distance hiking trails in the world, documenting them and describing them for others. The idea of sharing these adventures with others and making the experiences accessible through films and detailed tour reports grew more and more. This is how the HikingFex.com platform was born - a place where I combine my passion for hiking and entrepreneurship to create something that both helps and brings joy to many people.Today I call myself a tour journalist because I love sharing my experiences and inspiring others to discover nature on the most beautiful hiking trails. But I am still a long way from my goal. As on every hike, there are always new heights to climb and unknown paths to explore. The goal is never really the end of the journey, but the continuous process of discovery and growth. Every step on these trails takes me further not only geographically, but also internally - and that makes the journey a never-ending adventure.

My experiences on long-distance hiking trails
By taking only the essentials with you, you focus on what is essential and free yourself from everything that burdens you unnecessarily. Hiking on long-distance trails can not only be physically relieving, but can also lead to a deep inner cleansing - by letting go of negative thoughts and emotions and making room for new, positive energy.
It also strengthens your connection to nature and deepens your appreciation for its beauty and resources. Those who travel long distances use water, food and energy more consciously and develop a deeper awareness of the world around them.
The silence of nature offers you the opportunity to listen to yourself. Without distraction, you can deal more intensively with your thoughts and feelings and build a deeper connection with yourself.
Hiking on long-distance trails is more than a physical challenge – it is a spiritual experience that grounds you, gives you clarity and shows you what really matters.
I hope you enjoy browsing my site!
sincerely
Christian Sommer
