Hiking 180km on the GR20 - The Toughest Trail in Europe? (4K)

The GR20 is a 180km/110mi hiking trail considered by many as the toughest trail in Europe. And what I find even more surprising is that it is located on the French island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea.
While being famous for its rocky and rugged characteristic, the GR20 also offers a wide variety of spectacular alpine views and an unforgettable hiking experience.
Every year thousands of hikers attempt to hike the GR20, with the majority hiking from June through September. However I had some free time in October and had the chance to experience the beauty of the autumn colours through the rugged terrain along the GR20 hiking trail.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this journey into nature!

An excellent record of your trip - well done. I walked the GR20 twice in the 1980s but that was before the internet. It would have been interesting to see your video before going, but in those days you only had the guide book! Your account brought back a lot of memories. Great job.

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Wow, it must have been a totally different experience back then. I am glad you stumbled upon my video and that it brought good memories to you from the trail. With the technology and the advancement of the backpacking gear it is so much easier for us nowadays.. I hope you are still enjoying spending time in nature and the outdoors, Cheers!

@luboyanev Месяц назад

Thank you so much for appreciating the effort that goes into making these! And for me it's a tough question hiking solo or in a group, I would say it depends a lot of the other people, if you have some previous experience hiking with them, it would make it easier and can be a very positive hiking experience! Best of luck on your trip!

First of all, I want to tell, that you are awesome!!! Filming is really good, and you spend a lot of time and power doing these shots of yourself. That is great!!! Also, you have an amazing endurance. 9 days ... wow !!! Twice faster than me. And a week faster than usual. Plus, you are wearing such thin sneakers... Can't imagine how you manage not to hurt your feet. And your food. You are cold eater. What you were taking along? As I see it is muesli and potato? What else? And one more time thank you for the film!!!

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the kind words! Having a lighter pack definitely helped with being able to go quicker along the route, but I also after all the rocky surface towards the ends of the days I would have pain on my knees and ankles. Taking it slower or stopping earlier I would have probably avoided all that pain.. And regarding food I would usually have a oats/musli/granola with nuts, raisins, protein powder, sugar, coconut flakes, then during the day I would have chocolate bars and nuts and dried fruit, and then for dinners I would usually have either noodles or couscous with peanuts, TVP (granulated soy), coconut flakes, spices and sometimes ketchup.. And I would usually soak the dinner for about 30minutes to an hour so it will be ready to eat :) Cheers!

@luboyanev Год назад

@@MarkusFolz Yeah, and the north section is the tougher part of the trail, so congrats on completing that! And good to hear you still had a good time out there.

@luboyanev Год назад

@@MarkusFolz I just saw your story highlights from your trip, it looked like you also managed to hike during the fall colors, and mostly good weather. But I was curious, I saw we have the same Duplex tent, and you had managed to have it pitched on the platforms near the huts. How did you manage to pitch it, it looked very well taut, did you tie rocks or sticks to the guylines, or did you use these platform anchors that zpacks sells? And btw. if I could give one piece of advice, I saw your footprint extended quite a lot away from the sidewalls, and this way when water drips down the tent it would gather up. I have cut my footprint to be the size of the baththub floor of the tent (or even slightly smaller), about 225cm by 110cm, so that water won't drip on it, and still protects the tent floor. Hope that will be helpful

@MarkusFolz Год назад

@@luboyanev Awesome, thank you for the tip with the footprint. I had some issues with water building up between the footprint and the tent. Sometimes I stuffed the footprint under the tent, but most of the times I was too lazy... But I'll definetly cut it for the next trip! :) I used my normal tent stakes as kind of an anchor to pitch the tent on the wooden platforms, I'll send you a video on Instagram

@ralfhedin Месяц назад

Fantastic video! Informative, beautiful and lots of atmosphere. What would you say are the top-5 most important things to know about hiking the GR20?

@luboyanev Месяц назад

Thank you! And that's a good question! On the top of my head: - Know how to get to the trailhead - Know how much food you will need to carry (depending on estimated pace and if the huts are open and serving meals) - Try to lower the weight of the gear, the GR20 has a lot of steep and rocky terrain, the heavier the pack the harder will be the experience - Know which season you'll be hiking, summer might be very hot (I don't have personal experience with hiking it in the summer so it's only a guess) - The trail is even prettier in real life Happy hiking :)

Love the way you document your hikes, it is just a joy to watch. How big was your backpack and what do you take in it? How do you shower or wash clothes?

@luboyanev Месяц назад

Thank you for the kind words!! On that hike I used a 38L pack (with 25L of the internal volume and 13L in the outside pockets), so it was quite small, but I was just enough to carry everything with me. And I flew with it as a carry on bag. And for showering and washing clothes, I usually do it in the lakes or rivers, or if there are any huts along the way, I would also shower there (on this hike I showered in the refugios in Calenzana before starting the hike, then in Vizzavona and Bavella). Happy hiking!

Thank you! And you have a good eye, October was indeed a great time to hike, though just in case to have the safety, I carried a shelter with me as some of the shelters in the lower half were locked and closed, and yes while there was some scrambling sections usually they weren't very long and not hard to manage..

A brilliant film mate, thank you. Looks awesome and it's on the list of trails to do. Was it relatively easy to follow?

@luboyanev Год назад

Thank you! Yeah, I would say the trail is very well marked, but there were very few places where I got off trail and having the offline map and gpx file of the trail on my phone helped to easily get back on the trail. Happy hiking!

@Pedreone Год назад

Thank you for the beautiful video! Your backpack doesn't seem to be too heavy. Could you maybe tell us about everything you take on a trip and about the food you bring? Maybe you can do a video about it :).

@luboyanev Год назад

Thank you, and very good suggestion, I have actually filmed a gear video, but I didn't think it turned out that good and never published it. In a few months I would like to release a new hiking film from a trip to Norway, and I might make a video about my gear then. Stay tuned, and enjoy your winter :)

You are one of the best hikers in youtube. You should come to Portugal and try our national parque...Gerês. Congratulations

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! And I thanks for the recommendation, never heard of it and looking on the photos online it does look nice. I have thought about hiking on Madeira, it looks so beautiful and seems like these days it's a really popular place to visit for hikers and tourists..

Great video. The narration, the shots and the information. Just wondering about your conclusion - The toughest trail in Europe?

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, I am glad you appreciated the effort! And regardless being the toughest, I think because I pushed myself to do two stages every day, and from walking on the hard rocks all day towards the end of the days I would start getting pretty bad pain on the sides of my knees and on my ankles, and I was carrying a pretty light pack. I think if I was doing one stage per day it would be way less painful and not so tough. I don't know if you saw my video from Lofoten, personally I had a tougher time there mostly because of the climate. The views on the GR20 also made the hard parts worth it. In the end hard to say if it's the toughest trail in Europe :) It is challenging, but it is worth it..

@Randolf4475 Год назад

Hey Lyubo, super nice video with wonderful pictures. Little question, what did you eat throughout the day? I saw porridge one or two times...

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! And yes, I would have porridge everyday (with musli/granola, nuts, raisins, protein powder, sugar, coconut flakes), then as snacks I would have chocoalte bars or nuts and dry fruits, and for dinners I soaked either noodles or couscous with peanuts, TVP (granulated dehydrated soy), raisins, and spices. Happy hiking!

Superb film. Big fan of your work, Lyubo. Maybe see you in the Scottish mountains one day.

@luboyanev Год назад

Thank you! Ooh, and I have heard many good things and have seen images of Scotland and it looks very impressive too, so one day I hope I'd visit. Cheers!

i absolutely loved the video and i will add it to my bucket list for hiking! i think you should visit the high tatras in poland and slovakia and maybe the tour de mont blanc ;)

@luboyanev Год назад

Thank you! It was a challenging trail but so much worth hiking the GR20! And thanks for the recommendations, I have actually hiked near TMB, back in 2018 I hiked the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt. Incredible area, just haven't made the video from that trip.

@@luboyanev oh ok great! but the high tatras are very pretty the prettiest places imo are mount rysy kozi wierch and gerlakoski shtit

Hello Lyubo, I discovered your channel and I just subscribed. Thank you for this beautiful sharing on one of the most beautiful routes in France. I also share my hiking routes and we film the same way. I therefore know the work that it represents, before, during and after. Congratulation. Sincerely, Eric

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the support Eric! I can see on your channel that you have been to many beautiful mountain destinations! For me being on the adventures is the fun part, the editing can sometimes be tough, but once we have captured all this beautiful footage, it will be a shame not to share it right :) Happy hiking!

@vladgaitanaru5839 Год назад

Very beautiful, you can try Via Transilvanica in Romania!

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

It's a pretty long one :) I just looked at the website and looks like there is a solid organisation behind it, good job! I hope it attracts more people to explore the mountains in our balkan countries :) Cheers!

Throwing down poles is my most consistent memory of gr20 descents. And feeling lost from time to time.

@luboyanev 10 месяцев назад

Haha, yea while going on the scrambling parts, one can't really have the trekking poles in the hands :D

Amazing experience and wonderfull video memory you’ve created! Thank you for the inspiration, Lyubo. By any chance do you have gpx files of your route/itinenary? Would love to repeat your journey this June. Thanks so much! ✌🏻

@luboyanev Месяц назад

Thank you, I am glad in was inspiring! And you could download a gpx file if you google E4 Bulgaria Fastest know time, and there is a link to the gpx file there. Happy hiking, I hope you get the chance to experience it!
