Starting from the desire to promote the green banks of the Danube and to make the cultural and natural heritage of the areas north and south of the Danube, Harald Gormsson (AIRI-HG) Association wishes to capitalize on this opportunity by proposing new accessible and environmentally friendly tourist packages that consist of hiking and marathon (running) in those areas. These outdoor activities have perhaps experienced the greatest boom in recent years, but most of the time they were concentrated in mountain areas and less in the plains, hills and meadows along the Danube. The Green Tourism Products project aims to provide a more affordable alternative both financially and logistically, with the Danube being closer to the main urban centers than mountain regions.
It is proven that hiking has a positive effect both physically and perhaps more importantly in the century of speed, psychologically, reducing the accumulated stress and providing a tonus and a new energy to the body. Practically a hike can "load" you for a new week of work. The same can be said about running marathon (marathon) where medical studies have found the high endorphins, which explains the increased number of runners from year to year. Its whats called "runners high". American physicist Jesse Pittsley, chairman of the American Society for Exercise Physiologists, found that while endorphins are chemically switched off, runners still have the "runners high", most likely linked to serotonin and dopamine, responsible neurotransmitters and to combat depression. In conclusion, running races have an extraordinary effect on modern man. Hiking also enhances muscular tonus, reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems, diabetes, improves sleep quality, etc.
Practically, the Green Tour Pro project produces 2 travel products in the form of hiking and trekking for different types of people, from age and level of athletics, to the lifestyle of everyone, for those who want a pleasant walk in nature, or for those with competitive companies who need a challenge. Participants in these circuits in nature will have the opportunity to know the natural and cultural wealth of the two countries. The banks of the Danube are known for countless species of plants and animals: birds, fish, rodents, etc. Cultural heritage, including UNESCO and UNESCO protected areas the first objective to be mentioned is the city and fortress of Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria, it is distinct in variety, from antiquity, the Middle Ages or the modernism after the Second World War. The Danube has a lot to offer, and this project will make that worthwhile.
