Collecting the stamps is just to motivate people, give them a feeling of accomplishment. You can opt for not getting a single stamp, but collecting them is just part of a tradition, which has it´s roots way back before the socialist era. Also note: this is whole thing is jut run by a bunch of volunteers in their free time, and they for sure spend their own money to do so.

- chpatrick 5y agoI agree, I really don't get why they're being so negative about something that's just meant to be a nice thing while you do your hike.

- bbotond 5y agoAgreed. Each stamp print is a small reward and seeing more and more of the beautifully designed prints appear in your booklet feels great. I started hiking the trail in 2019 with my dog - we both have separate collection booklets - and I hope when we finally complete the trail, he too can get his own badge.
- pc86 5y agoI love this! My dog would love to hike this with us. The ~4900 mile/~7900 km trip to get there in the first place, not so much :)
