Abstract
This chapter describes a number of good practice examples in outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism collected from different European countries. The examples provide trans-national inspiration on how to solve some of the problems and challenges identified in the previous chapters. Furthermore, it includes a range of good examples of initiatives that enhance forest recreation experiences. The examples represent a selection from over 100 good practices examples submitted by participants of the COST action E33 “Forest Recreation and Nature based tourism”, working group “recreation planning and management”. Examples have been submitted by more than 20 countries across Europe.
