'An invigorating sense of wildness': readers' favorite autumn walks in Europe
Primeval rainforest, Montenegro
It's hard to beat Montenegro's heavy hitter for fall colors: Biogradska Gora National Park, one of Europe's last pristine primeval forests . Here you will find numerous hiking trails under the bronze canopy, glacial lakes, very rare flora and fauna and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Once you leave the insta-fave lake near the national park entrance, you'll barely see a soul all day. Stay in Kolasin, one of the local eco-villages or a quirky mushroom-shaped "art" apartment.Kate Copeland

The Jagersteig trail at Schluchsee is a beautiful 12 km walk through the green pine forests of the Hochschwarzwald.The circular route includes the pretty lakeside town of Schluchsee, but we stayed at the picturesque Gasthof Hirschen near Fischbach.The outcrop of Bildstein offers stunning views of the lake, with Al Swiss pes visible in the distance on a clear day. There are plenty of places to grab kaffee und kuchen in the surrounding villages, and a regional rail pass is included with your hotel booking if you're staying longer than two nights.IanThe comfort of the south of the Massif Central, France >
