What accommodation options are available along E1 and E6?


The majority of the trails are well-marked, often with orange bands around trees and posts. At suitable starting and ending points, there are usually information boards with an overview map of the local trail. Most trails currently lack specific markings for the European long-distance trails. These signs feature a blue background with 15 yellow European stars surrounding either E1 or E6. Where E-path markers exist, they complement the regular trail markers.





Please note that the E-paths consist of continuous regional trails where different municipalities, regions, foundations, etc. are responsible for maintenance, signage, and updating information on markings, trail maps, shelters, and rest cabins.





Many trails are equipped with rest stops or shelters, sometimes also with toilets, water, and fire pits. With a sleeping bag in your pack, these shelters can be used for overnight stays. Some trails also offer unmanned cabins for overnight stays. Carrying a hammock is another popular option. The standard of rest stops, shelters, and overnight cabins can vary between trails. Additionally, you can make use of hostels, campsites, inns, hotels, and bed & breakfasts if you're on a multi-day hike. Sometimes these options are close to the trails, and other times you may need to venture further from the trail to find them.
