It took the Blackfeet four years to go from end to end on trips to trade, make sacred journeys, or find a wife. You can v...
This narrow, 17th-century highway linking Kyoto and Edo (modern Tokyo) was built along the route of an older trail. Running for 310 miles (500 kilometers) along the shores of Lake Biwa, across mountain ranges and down onto the Kanto Plain around Edo, it was meant for horses and pedestrians—the Japanese did not use carts. Parts of the tranquil route...
For centuries, people traveled along this rugged footpath between Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan in what is now Hong Kong’s New Territories. Today, both ends of the trail are embedded in a thoroughly urban sprawl of malls and traffic jams, but the middle remains a delicious haven of peace.
This ancient 140-mile (225-kilometer) highway ran between Angkor, Cambodia, and Phimai, Thailand, and was sacred to the Cambodian empire’s “god-kings,” who traveled the highway visiting temples and performing religious ceremonies involving fire, water, and linga (stone phallic sculptures).

It passes many pilgrimage sites, including Mount Nebo, Jordan, where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land. (This temple honors the Egyptian queen who ruled as king.)
The Romans, Greeks, Byzantines, Crusaders, Venetians, Ottomans, and Austrians have all used this astonishing road across the mountains of the Balkan peninsula. Roman proconsul Gnaeus Egnatius built it in the first century B.C. to link the Adriatic with the Aegean Sea and the Bosporus. (This heavenly building served as both church and mosque.)
From ancient times, amber—“the gold of the north”—was traded along this route linking the Baltic with the Adriatic. Today, it makes an intriguing trail to follow from St. Petersburg across eastern and central Europe to Venice.
