Who we are
Trek’n’Trails (https://trekntrails.com) is an independent project focused on trek information, route planning and GPX route data. The site provides curated trek overviews and downloadable GPX files created specifically for use in navigation apps. We do not operate as a travel agency and we do not sell guided services — only information and digital route files.
