About Spartan Trekking
We are Leonidas and Lycurgus, the creators of this site. We have chosen these names because they are the men whom to us, respectively, are titans of the classical antiquity world. The words they spoke and the deeds they championed are written in the sands of time and will be remembered for as long as humanity is capable of remembering.
We started Spartan Trekking out of our love for nature, wisdom, and growth.

Spartan
When you hear that word what do you think of? Almost guaranteed you envision Gerald Butler kicking Persians into giant wells and scantily clad men in loincloths cutting through armies like confetti.
But there is a deeper meaning behind it.
It's discipline. It's stoicism. It's hitting your wall and breaking through it like a sledgehammer. It's about perseverance and acceptance that your body is capable of so much more than your mind tells you it is. When you can control your own mind instead of the inverse, your world opens up. Spartan Trekking is about taking the age old concept of hiking nature and transforms it into a sport. An individual competition, a game of tug-a-war between the body, mind and spirit. A warring dance of man and megacosm. In the end who wins is decided only by how far each individual is willing to go and what they are willing to sustain.
Here you will find a community that will equip you with the resources, inspiration and company of like minded individuals to subdue your wills and conquer the uninhabited. Welcome to the world of wilderness warriors.

We find bliss and serenity in the raw landscape of the world around us and the primal instincts that draw mankind back into the metal and merciless world of nature. There is an ironic phenomenon with mankind. For mankind has striven, struggled and endured in an everlasting quest to transcend nature to build our cities, governments and technological achievements to become 'civilized', yet we find ourselves most at home under the quite night sky, on a desolate beach or in an engulfing windy forest.
