Far, far away: These are the most remote places in the world

Have you been to metropolises like Paris or Rome often enough and are you looking for an adventure? Then, destinations that are in the middle of nowhere are an alternative. We have a few suggestions.

For some people, a hamlet just outside Berlin or Hamburg is far off the mark. Two words: complete misjudgment! There are places on this planet that are hidden somewhere in the middle of nowhere, that they have virtually no connection to the outside world. Or hardly anyone ever heard of them. We present 15 spots of earth that are literally at the bottom of the world, but quite interesting.

Here it goes directly to the picture show with the most remote places on earth.

Are lonely islands really a dream?

Have you ever heard of Ittoqqortoormiit in Greenland ? Or from Longyearbyen in Norway ? If you live here, you should not have a problem with loneliness. Even worse are cities that are even completely isolated, such as Mêdog County in the Tibet Autonomous Region. There was not even a road there until 2013. Especially with snow, the region was often not accessible for months.

And also the dream of the lonely island appears in our list in a new light. Although some are like Pitcairn or the Cook Islands in the Pacific in a paradisiacal environment. But if the next town on the mainland is several thousand kilometers away, just drop by a supply ship and you’re related to all the islanders, things will look different. No wonder then that some of these settlements have to recruit residents intensively.

Of eternal ice, thin air and gold treasures

But decide for yourself if you find absolute solitude tempting. Or, at the sight of the remotest places in the world, get more flight reflexes. For a break from everyday life with a lot of rest, they are always worth it. However, we warn you before: The journey to the jungle, in the mountains, on islands or in the eternal ice targets is often difficult.

Ironically, the city that is experiencing the biggest boom is one in which there is not even running water and its oxygen-deficient air at 5100 meters altitude is actually unbearable. Why La Rinconada is still so popular in Peru? It is clear that it has nothing to do with the conscious choice of loneliness, but with the fact that there annually 100 tonnes of gold are mined.
