Offline travel is the trend; more and more people are specifically looking for places without a cell phone network, as an analysis by the travel eSim app "Saily" shows. The remote regions with little reception are often among the most impressive landscapes in the world.

Falstaff TRAVEL presents the most beautiful offline places.

Around one in four adults opt for a digital detox trip, while one in five specifically look for destinations with little or no mobile signal, as recent studies show. A bonus for travelers: Regions with poor connectivity are some of the most spectacular places in the world.

Kamikochi Valley, Japan

The alpine valley in the Northern Japanese Alps attracts nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts alike - whether for a leisurely stroll along the clear Azusa River or for extensive trekking tours in the surrounding mountains. A highlight of the valley is the Kappabashi Bridge, which offers views of the Hotaka mountain range. A hike to Myojin Pond, which is surrounded by dense forests and majestic peaks, is also particularly rewarding. To really switch off, hikers should follow the paths along the rivers, away from the main paths.

Banff National Park, Canada

Canada's oldest national park is located in the southwest of the country. Turquoise-blue lakes and the Rocky Mountains invite you to relax on less frequented paths. The park was founded in 1885 and takes its name from the small town of Banff, on whose doorstep it begins.

There are numerous sporting activities on offer in Banff National Park. In addition to hiking and mountain biking, these include climbing and horse riding. Swimming and boating are also permitted in many mountain lakes. Quieter hiking trails away from busy cities are the ideal choice for a digital detox.

Bakir Koylar, Turkey

Located in the north-east of Turkey on the Black Sea coast, Bakir Koylar is an idyllic destination for travelers who want to experience nature and culture far off the beaten tourist track. The region is characterized by lush green mountains, dense forests and traditional rural villages where daily life still has its original rhythm. In addition to the impressive landscape, the region offers insights into the authentic local culture. Bakir Koylar is a retreat where peace, space and the connection to nature and traditions are paramount.

Death Valley National Park, USA

As the driest and lowest lying park in the USA, Death Valley National Park with its extreme desert landscapes and remote dunes is a place of silence and vastness. As a certified "International Dark Sky Park", Death Valley is also predestined for stargazing. You can see the Milky Way particularly well here in spring. The best way to switch off here is by exploring remote dunes, salt flats or viewpoints in the mountains.

Erawan National Park, Thailand

Erawan National Park is located northwest of Bangkok and is considered one of Thailand's scenic highlights. The park is best known for its seven-tiered Erawan waterfall, whose emerald-green pools invite you to take a refreshing dip. In addition to the waterfalls, the park offers numerous caves: The Phartat Cave impresses with stalactites and stalagmites, the Ta Duang Cave is home to ancient rock paintings and the two-storey Wang Bah Dan Cave even has a small stream in the lower chamber. The national park is not only a paradise for hikers, but also a habitat for animals such as elephants and red deer.

Daintree Rainforest, Australia

The place is so spectacular that the British naturalist Sir David Attenborough called it "the most extraordinary place on earth". The oldest rainforest in the world was formed more than 180 million years ago and is considered one of the most complex ecosystems in the world. So it's no wonder that visitors can feel the ancient energy with every step they take. The experiences that await hikers are just as special as the forest itself: from crocodile watching and spear fishing to encounters with traditional guardians of the region, the Kuku Yalanji, who are happy to share the knowledge of generations - in a completely analog way.

Grand Canyon National Park, USA

In theory, the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona is "just" a hole in the ground. Anyone who has ever stood in front of it in practice knows that this is by no means everything. You are indeed overcome with humility when you look into the abyss - shaped by the elements of nature over millions of years. Geologists can enjoy over 20 different rock strata, while 1,500 plant species and 500 animal species will impress nature lovers. Culture fans know that the Grand Canyon is a sacred area for some indigenous peoples, such as the Havasupai, Hopi, Hualapai and Navajo.

To completely switch off, it is recommended to hike down into the gorge away from the main viewpoints, especially on quieter trails such as the South Kaibab Trail.
