What does "ecological tourism" mean?

Environmental tourism has always existed. Almost all of us visited nature reserves or went hiking to untouched corners of nature.

Ecotourism, as a phenomenon, was formed in the 80s of the last century, as a result of interest in environmental problems, the growing popularity of environmental movements.

Kaliningrad region

In the Kaliningrad region, rural tourism is successfully developing - an offshoot of ecological tourism.

Accommodation in a real farm, fishing, hunting, cycling, riding horses, collecting mushrooms and berries in the forest - this is not a complete list of what can help an urban resident relax and rejuvenate his soul.

Soulful evening conversations at the campfire, overworking guitar strings, and then a sound sleep on the haywalk - an excellent therapy that allows you to feel a surge of new strength.
