徒步旅行文化冲击:了解美国和欧洲的路径差异

我曾在美国徒步旅行过几条长路,但在西班牙的 GR11 公路上徒步旅行 5 周后,我意识到美国和欧洲的徒步旅行文化存在很大差异。

2023 年夏天,我和我的徒步旅行伙伴弗兰开始了穿越西班牙比利牛斯山脉的510 英里长的 GR11 步道徒步旅行。这条路线的海拔升高了 15 万英尺,海拔下降了同样多的高度,难度可想而知。

我们的目标是在 30 天内走完这段路程,这样我们每天增减幅度约为 5,000 英尺。这比我走过的最陡峭的美国路径(如仙境路径长路径)要陡峭得多,这足以让我们的比利牛斯山探险成为与美国徒步旅行完全不同的体验。

但我们后来发现,欧洲和美国的徒步旅行还有很多不同之处。更有甚者,我们在徒步旅行中感受到了不同生活方式之间某种程度的文化冲击。GR11 的挑战性部分源于山脉的崎岖不平,部分源于户外娱乐方面真实存在的文化差异。

我们学到了很多。以下是一些要点,可以帮助你为自己穿越池塘徒步旅行做好准备。

The only line of defense between me and a veritable galaxy of painful mosquito bites was the humble $11 bug repellent I almost left at home.
