In all corners of Europe slow itineraries and uncontaminated places are hidden, waiting to be discovered. We of Ecobnb, several months ago, decided to promote a contest to map the most beautiful experiences of ecotourism, respectful of the places and the people who inhabit them.
We believe that the places should be told by those who experienced them during unforgettable trips or those who live them daily: only they can truly convey the emotion that you can feel climbing that mountain, diving into that sea.

The guides of the Italian regions and European countries are many, but they are all the same. We tried to do something a little different, we have forgotten the must-see places, the landmarks that we all know by now: together with you we went in search of hidden gems, unknown places but with so much to offer, slow routes where you can find quiet and peace and discover that trips can also be free and close to home.
October 31 was the deadline to participate, and many of youhave sent us the memories of your green adventures. So we collected your stories about less known and most authentic places of the European continent: the cycle-path to discover picturesque corners of the city, walks in the uncontaminated islands, hiking in high mountains.
