Geography
The Apennines are divided into three sectors: northern (Italian: Appennino settentrionale), central (Italian: Appennino centrale) and southern (Italian: Appennino meridionale).
A number of long hiking trails wind through the Apennines. Of note is European walking route E1 coming from northern Europe and traversing the lengths of the northern and central Apennines. The Grand Italian Trail begins in Trieste and after winding through the Alpine arc traverses the entire Apennine system, Sicily and Sardinia.
