Boots off, headphones on! Welcome to Goatcast, the Bookatrekking.com podcast for hikers, trekkers and anyone who is already thinking about their next trail. We talk about trekking, mountain adventures, unforgettable routes and the stories that make spending time on the trail so addictive.

From famous long-distance hikes to hidden gems, mountain huts and the people who know these places best, Goatcast goes beyond kilometres and elevation profiles. Whether you're planning your next trek, dreaming about the mountains from your desk, or just looking for some fresh trail inspiration, press play and join us.

What is Goatcast?

Goatcast is the Bookatrekking.com podcast for people who like their stories with a bit of altitude. Hosted by Sierd van der Bij, it is all about trekking, long-distance trails, mountain huts, unforgettable routes and the people who make these places special.

Some episodes are about iconic treks. Others dive into destinations, trail culture, planning, local stories or the kind of details you normally only discover once your boots are already on the ground. Sierd talks to hikers, hut keepers, creators and mountain people who have a good story to tell. In short, it is everything we love talking about at Bookatrekking.com, now with microphones.

What do we talk about?

Expect stories from the trail, conversations about some of the best trekking routes in Europe and beyond, and plenty of mountain talk along the way. We look at what makes a trek worth doing, what you should know before you go and why some routes stay in your head long after the hiking boots are back in the cupboard.

And because there is more to trekking than GPX files and elevation gain, we also talk about rifugios, mountain culture, local food and the little moments that turn a good hike into a proper adventure.

Who is Goatcast for?

If you have ever spent your lunch break looking at hiking maps, comparing hut-to-hut routes or wondering whether you could squeeze another trek into your summer, you are in the right place.

Goatcast is for experienced trekkers, first-time hikers and everyone in between. You do not need to know your Alta Via from your Adlerweg. A healthy appetite for the mountains will do just fine.
