WOTAN CITY, Ladonia — The Ladonian government has unveiled a new national initiative designed to enhance the hiking experience to the famed Nimis sculpture. The “Nimis Guides” effort introduces distinctive “GUIDE” buttons to help hikers easily identify knowledgeable volunteers ready to assist on the trails.
What Are “Guide” Buttons?
The “Guide” buttons, which simply say “GUIDE,” will be worn by volunteers and experienced hikers on their backpacks or hats. This makes them easily recognizable to those seeking guidance, as the word “guide” is the same in both English and Swedish.
Spotting a Guide
Hikers are encouraged to look for these distinctive buttons while exploring the trails. Guides can provide valuable information about the routes, share insights about the Nimis artwork, and help visitors have a safe and enjoyable adventure. The presence of these guides aims to enrich the hiking experience, particularly for those new to the trails or unfamiliar with the area.
Addressing Trail Challenges
This initiative comes in response to ongoing challenges with maintaining clear trail directions. Direction signs previously installed to guide visitors to Nimis frequently go missing, leaving many hikers lost or unsure where to turn off the main trail. The “Nimis Guides” program addresses this issue by offering a human solution—knowledgeable volunteers who can offer real-time guidance and ensure that visitors find their way without confusion.
How to Get Involved
Ladonia is calling on those familiar with the trails and eager to assist fellow hikers to join this initiative. Becoming a guide is an unpaid position, but it offers the joy of being helpful to international tourists. Interested individuals can contact the organizers to receive their own “Guide” button. By participating, volunteers play a crucial role in promoting safety and enhancing the overall hiking experience for everyone.

The launch of the “Nimis Guides” program is set to make a significant impact, ensuring that visitors can navigate the picturesque yet sometimes challenging trails without the worry of getting lost. This initiative not only promotes a sense of community among hikers but also highlights Ladonia’s commitment to tourism and outdoor activities.
