There’s nothing quite like a hiking trip for clearing the mind – and getting out into nature and exploring on foot allows access to places you might miss otherwise. We’d love to hear about great walks you’ve taken in Europe, on coasts, over hills and mountains and through forests, plus any details of excellent pitstops you’ve enjoyed en route. Tell us where you went and why it was special and you could win a holiday voucher.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.

We’re sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

The competition closes on 30 September at 9am BST
