When you go on a hiking vacation, you can't help but appreciate Mother Nature as you take it all in and improve your health and fitness at the same time. Walking is a fantastic yet easy way to take in the fresh air and get a close-up view of the outdoors.

Instead of taking a fly-and-flop vacation, embrace nature and permanently imprint its beauty in your memory by opting to see the world from a unique perspective. Check off the necessary steps to make sure you have the best hiking experience possible, as planning is the key to making the most of your hiking vacation.

With hiking, the emphasis is on being rather than doing, which more and more individuals find necessary. Since hiking is a leisurely sport, you have time to fully experience the surroundings, using all of your senses in addition to sight.

You can smell the sea, the trees, and the flowers; hear the birds sing; and feel the air, the sun, and the rain on your skin. The OP must have wanted this experience, which is why he booked a week-long hiking holiday in Germany with his cousin.

OP's cousin had gotten a girlfriend who was wonderful, but then she needed to go everywhere he did, which meant she wanted to come on the trip as well. When she couldn't fit into the plan at the last minute, OP's cousin wanted them to cancel, but that wasn't happening. 

The OP writes

When the OP and his cousin couldn't fit the girlfriend in last minute, he asked the OP to cancel since she can't come

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I went on a trip without my cousin that we had originally planned. He's now upset about it and I don't want him to be mad at me.

We've gathered some of the most upvoted comments from other Redditors for you to read through below

A hiking vacation is all about living simply; the only things you really need to do are hike, eat, and sleep. This is in sharp contrast to the ordinary modern lifestyle, which is frequently characterized by commitments and tasks.

The OP wasn't about to postpone this hiking trip again, and many Redditors agreed with him. He was declared not the AH, and you share this post to get other people's opinions as well.
