At the same time, we're going to want to get away from the
crowds even more than before. That's not always easy to do in
Europe,
but the continent is part of Original Travel's DNA, so we know
those secret spots that are on a completely different page of the
atlas from the usual popular spots, and far from the nearest beaten
track.
This combination is why we're so excited to launch our new
portfolio - Near Frontiers - showcasing the best European
wilderness regions; places where you won't see another soul, but
conversely stand a good chance of seeing some of the remarkable
species (think polar bears, wolves, bison and more) that call these
remote and beautiful places home.
Even better from the perspective of our new
Travel Less, Travel Better philosophy, many of these near
frontiers can be reached by train,
stopping en route in some similarly intriguing (albeit, by
definition, not remotely remote) spots.
See below for our portfolio of places that are so near, yet so
far-flung.
