The article is available only in Greek. It is our answer to the recent law project of the Greek Ministry of the Environment that aims to define what hiking trails are and who is responsible for them. It also treats of the guidelines for trail design, trail blazing and other matters. Our core position is that trails are mainly a matter of Tourism, as they combine nature, culture and they have a socio-economic benefit. We believe that the Ministry of the Environment should only have a consultative role on this subject.
