The central task of the hiking village in the destination is to prepare the hiker for the experience of "nature", to give a foretaste of possible nature, landscape and cultural experiences. A good hiking village is characterised by an attractive and authentic overall appearance, a valuable landscape that can be lived and experienced, and a comprehensive "hiking infrastructure".
