A rural walk around the world

What is Rural ?

Many people have definitions for the term rural, but seldom are these rural definitions in agreement.
For some, rural is a subjective state of mind. For others, rural is an objective quantitative measure.

Saying "rural", I have in mind anything, that is not "urban".

Urban areas can be defined using several criteria. Once this is done, rural is then defined by exclusion - any area that is not urban is rural.

What is Walk ? The things are simpler here and we will not discuss them.

This site aims to provide information about interesting places on the world where everyone can escape from the big city and enjoy the provincial and pastoral peace, the lovely village or nature scenery.

The site is still under development, but it is now fully functional and you can provide information about your favorite nooks of our green planet.

It is enough to register, which will take not more than a half minute. After registration you can submit your rural walk with the possibility to publish information about accomodation, maps, guides or any other relevant service.
