Has anyone here hiked one of the European long distance paths?

Of course you can, although leave the northern part and the alps for july and august only unless you have many years of experience.

You do need to take me with you, though, I really want to take time off from work to do something like this, but wouldn't want to go alone. I have a lot of gear prepared, too, good at wild camping etc.

I wonder how much time this path might take on foot.. 3 months?
It's probably around 3k km... Daily you can make maybe ... 50 km? So actually it would only be 2 months. But is 50 km/day achievable? Some paths are hard and I doubt you can make that through Alpes.

Just random thoughts, I hate hiking.

I doubt it's a good idea to hike through highly populated areas in Germany. I would buy a train ticket from Sweden or Denmark to Alps

Lol, hope you get to do it soon!

People hike the pacific crest trail in the U.S. which stretches from the border of Mexico to the border of Canada, that is 4280km the E1 trail is 7,980km. It's possible to hike the entire thing but it takes 5 months to hike the pacific crest trail so it might take around 9 months for the E1 trail if you do the whole thing. I'm planning on only doing a short bit of it from somewhere in Italy to the Swiss Alps. Idk if I'm even going to do this yet, I'm still just throwing around ideas for travel this summer.

That's what I was thinking, but I don't want to cross Germany (on foot at least). I'm thinking I might just start in somewhere in Italy and then bum around the alps for a while in the summer.

It rains a lot on the Norwegian side though. Just fyi. Because they're on the side of the mountains adjecent to the sea it can be really bad in some seasons.

I live in Malta (an Island south of sicily) And I know some people who went by car from Malta to England.

I know one Polishguy who did it while skyhigh on cocaine. He did it in 4 days without sleep.
