Looking for 5-7 day long distance walk [closed]

Looking for 5-7 day long distance walk [closed] - Casual couple in warm coats and protective masks latex gloves looking pulling hands to each other during weekend stroll together

I'm looking for a long distance hiking walk in Europe (but not Germany) of about 5-7 walking days (approx. 15-25 km/day, 100-150 km total length). If round trip or not doesn't matters.

I like small paths in hilly (not too rough) and natural environment up to 1000m altitude. I prefer walking alone lonesome areas comparing to populated regions, but meeting other hikers from time to time is nice.

On the end of every day stage I like to find houses or a small village with hostel, hotel or bed & breakfast accommodations. I like to take the trip in May or June this year and it shouldn't be too warm to walk. Aside of German I speak fluent English and a bit Italian.

My last hike was the West Highland Way in Scotland and it fits perfect to my requests above. Now I'm looking for a similar walk. Maybe someone has a suggestion for a nice location which suits my ideas.

Would be glad ...

You could consider walking along the Hadrian's Wall. It's 84 miles long, so about 135 km long. I haven't actually done the walk myself, but I imagine that the beginning and end might be a bit densely populated for you liking, but I think you should enjoy the middle bit.

Another idea in the UK would be the South Western Coast Path - the web site offers a few ideas. I did this walk: http://www.southwestcoastpath.com/multi-day-trips/short-breaks/5-7-day-breaks/st-ives-penzance/ and I enjoyed it a lot (it took 4 days). You can extend it in any direction.
