Abstract

This study aims to examine Historical Trekking as an educational medium by analyzing the role of trekking (X1) and educational media (X2) in shaping the quality of outdoor activities (Y). A descriptive exploratory qualitative approach was employed involving 20 participants who joined a Historical Trekking activity at Rumah Sandi, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires to explore participants’ experiences related to trekking activities, historical information delivery, and engagement in outdoor activities. The results indicate that trekking (X1) conducted in natural environments enhances participants’ enjoyment and involvement in outdoor activities (Y). Furthermore, the integration of educational media (X2) in the form of historical narratives along the trekking route improves historical understanding, environmental awareness, and emotional engagement. This study concludes that Historical Trekking has strong potential as an innovative strategy for developing educational tourism based on outdoor activities and cultural heritage.
