Articles and notes

This catalogue brings together the magazine's standalone pieces — more detailed than the reference sections. It is where we publish notes on packing, the journey, walking routes and short solo trips. The catalogue grows gradually, and each language version of the site gets its own articles.

A travel note is valuable because you can apply it to your own trip as soon as this weekend.

— Editor's note

How this section works: the catalogue includes pieces about short trips travelling light — packing, transport, walking and solo travel. We do not publish tour advertising or promote specific places.
