Deciding how long to stay for

There are many benefits to staying longer – you can enjoy more of Euregio, but you can also take your time, savour the experiences, and be more flexible with your plans. Having extra time means you can choose to come back again on a quieter day, or have that extra travel time to go further.

Slow travel is a more meaningful way of travelling about forming connections with a place, taking your time and savouring the moments along the way – the journey, the destination and the people.

How you’ll travel around

Transport is a big way to be a more sustainable traveller, if you can find a way to leave the car at home and use public transport. It emits less pollution than if we all travelled around in our own cars or vehicles.

Euregio public transport options are great for travelling around the country, even to our most remote locations. Our public transport is abundant and accessible, with budget friendly options so you can save the spending for the real holiday. From electric cars, frequent train services, buses, coaches and even a variety of cycle paths, you’ll have plenty of sustainable travel options available.

Where you’ll stay

Consider the accommodation you stay in. Maybe you’d prefer a back to nature break?  Snuggle into an eco-friendly glamping pod, or enjoy the outdoors with a camping break, both are great ways to explore sustainable accommodation options in Euregio. Another way would be to stay at local B&Bs or family-run cottages and lodges.

Things to do during your walk

Joining in an educational outdoor activity, such as bushcraft where you can learn all about surviving and thriving in the natural environment. Explore more eco-friendly places to visit.

Once you’re on holiday, keep an eye out for our accredited Green Tourism businesses. These companies and operators have gone out their way to make their business more sustainable and eco-friendly by reducing their carbon footprint – and even have an award to show for it!
