GR 65, пешеходный туристический маршрут в Евросоюзе
The GR 65 is a long-distance footpath in France that runs from Geneva to the town of Le Puy-en-Velay, following an ancient pilgrimage route. The trail passes through changing landscapes: from green hills and vineyards through volcanic ridges to wide plateaus with heather and wild grasslands.
The route traces back over 1000 years to when pilgrims traveled to visit the tomb of Saint James at Santiago de Compostela. In the 1970s volunteers established the official trail markings, and by the 1990s the path gained UNESCO recognition as an important cultural heritage site.
The GR 65 connects walkers to a centuries-old pilgrimage tradition that remains alive today. Travelers from around the world meet on this path to share in the history and support local communities in the regions they pass through.
The trail can be walked at a leisurely pace over about a month or completed in sections over several days or weeks. Along the way you will find many guesthouses, restaurants, and campsites for rest and overnight stays.
Walkers receive a small booklet called a credential that gets stamped at guesthouses and churches along the way. At journey's end this document serves as proof of completing the distance traveled.
