Hiking
However, hiking is not only about advantages. It is currently one of the most
important factors influencing the transformation of the landform. By descending
from the marked routes and treading alternative paths and shortcuts, tourists
contribute to the destruction of vegetation and the deterioration of the air-water
properties of the soil cover. Moreover, valuable natural areas shrink and
biodiversity disappears. And, what happens not only in the case of hiking, but all
other tourism, it leads to pollution of the environment with waste left by tourists
on and within the trails, and an increase in noise levels, which negatively affect
animals living in tourist areas.
