>>2497118Reality is it's both. I can't speak for all of europe, but germany especially is highly urbanized. In most places you can expect to meet a settlement or sign of civilization within an hour walk.
At the same time, there's a lot of hiking paths and forests, the forests are just not very big or very wild and the hiking paths will both go through agricultural regions (like vineyards and fields) and forests and mountains.
Then there's a few larger forests/natural areas, which are more wild, but those are designated for that specific use, and not what you'd randomly find.
There's also a absolute shitton of "naturschutzgebiete" (nature protection areas), where nature is protected and what you can do there is legally limited. These can be big, but a lot of them are super small.
As a result, both statements are true. Germany has nature, but it's also mostly urbanized.
For other countries in europe, I'd imagine it's the same, or even better in regards to the nature areas.
