This is highlighted by a survey conducted by Terre di mezzo Editore: In Italy and the rest of Europe, walking and undertaking long pilgrimages is an activity that is becoming increasingly popular.

The study states: “In 2021, people in Italy returned to walking—and walked more than they did before the pandemic. In fact, 59,538 credentials were issued (across 49 trails), compared to 45,472 in 2019.”

There are 49 registered trails on the peninsula, and there is talk of another 20 new trails, the details of which will soon be made official.

This is a phenomenon that is attracting a great deal of attention worldwide; in fact , *Outdoor Magazine*’s special issue on hiking devotes three full pages to it.

Walking is an activity that promotes health and restores balance to the body and mind. It is suitable for people of all ages and does not require any particular level of physical fitness. People take up this activity for a variety of reasons. Some want to explore the beauty of the local area, while others seek to restore their physical and mental well-being; some seek the tranquility of nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and others view it as a spiritual journey of self-discovery.

Whatever the reason for hitting the trail, hiking requires appropriate clothing, such as that offered by Oxyburn. It ensures comfort—which is essential when covering long distances—to minimize fatigue and maximize physical recovery. Second, effective thermal insulation is required—for both cold and hot temperatures—to maintain an optimal and constant body temperature.

Oxyburn is therefore the perfect ally and travel companion, no matter which path you choose to take or whatever goal your walk may bring.
