에든버러 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Pretty way in or out of balermo

No longer a real insider tip, it's still considerably quieter than the New Town and especially the Old Town. Plan some time; there's no rush here; so many pretty little corners/buildings/bridges are waiting to be explored! There's even a waterfall. An extremely picturesque neighborhood, partly cobblestoned.

It's actually a well! It was once believed that the water here had healing powers and could cure arthritis and poor eyesight. Another fun fact: the well is mentioned in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Either way, it's a beautiful spot by the river and a little different, a place that not everyone knows about yet.

One of the most distinctive places in Edinburgh. Note that a staircase on the right leads to the upper level. It's fascinating how one row of houses stands above another here.

Especially beautiful at dusk.

The Pentland Hills (a range of hills south of Edinburgh) offer countless hiking opportunities. One of the "best" (= the northernmost) is Allermuir Hill. There are many paths up the mountain, but the best route is undoubtedly the panoramic route from the Midlothian Snowsports Center parking lot to the summit. The center is...???...interesting... (Skiing on mats in the summer is also possible!), and the summit offers magnificent views in all directions!

It's breathtakingly beautiful here! :-)

Stunning views. Path gets very gravelly so care needed if you are less experienced off-road
