Linz ist berühmt für Kultur und Kunst und steht für eine gekonnte Mischung aus Entspanntheit und Lifestyle. Dazu trägt insbesondere der ausgeprägte Naturgenuss in und um die grüne Donaustadt bei. Spannende Stadtwanderwege leiten zu geschichtsträchtigen Plätzen, zahlreiche Wanderwege führen vom Zentrum direkt in die umliegenden Wälder und Hügellandschaften. Der Rother Wanderführer »Rund um Linz« präsentiert die schönsten Wanderungen, die noch dazu alle ganz ohne Auto erreichbar sind.

Die Region rund um Linz hat für jeden etwas zu bieten: Von der Schlögener Schlinge im Westen bis zum Strudengau im Osten, vom Mühlviertel im Norden bis hin ins Traunviertel reicht das Wandergebiet in diesem Rother Wanderführer. Er lässt nicht nur die beliebten Highlights rund um die oberösterreichische Landeshauptstadt im Einzugsgebiet der mächtigen Donau und ihrer Nebenflüsse Traun und Enns sowie der Steyr erkunden, sondern führt auch in ruhige und oftmals selbst bei Einheimischen unbekannte Ecken. Die Stadt selbst punktet mit viel Grün: Parks, Naturschutzgebiete, der Pöstlingsberg hoch über Linz und natürlich die Donau, die mitten durch das Zentrum fließt, bieten viele herrliche Wandermöglichkeiten direkt vor der Haustür.

Die 67 Wanderungen, die der Rother Wanderführer »Rund um Linz« vorstellt, sind alle mit dem ÖPNV bei einer maximalen Anfahrtszeit von etwa einer Stunde erreichbar. Sämtliche Touren sind zu jeder Jahreszeit möglich und bieten immer neue reizvolle Ausflugsziele. Sie verlaufen auf gut instand gehaltenen Pfaden und Feld- und Waldwegen und sind alle eher einfach. Jede Wanderung wird mit allen wichtigen Angaben, zuverlässigen Wegbeschreibungen, Karten mit eingezeichnetem Routenverlauf und aussagekräftigen Höhenprofilen vorgestellt. GPS-Tracks stehen zum Download von der Internetseite des Rother Bergverlags bereit.

Die 18 "Schafsinseln" der Färöer leuchten in intensiven Farben. Die raue, ungezähmte Natur ermöglicht vielfältige Unternehmungen. Naturpfade führen zu rauschenden Wasserfällen und auf zerklüftete Felsen. Mit dem Postschiff fährt man durch die herrliche Fjordlandschaft zu den Inseln Svínoy und Fugloy. Auf der Vogelinsel Mykines lassen sich Papageitaucher beobachten und in abgelegenen Dörfern wie Bøur zeigen sich die Färöer in ihrer zauberhaften Ursprünglichkeit. Kulturinteressierte kommen bei traditionellen Inselfesten und Grottenkonzerten auf ihre Kosten. Das Nationalmuseum Tjóðsavn zeigt Funde aus der Wikingerzeit und in den Restaurants der pittoresken Hauptstadt Tórshavn wird fangfrischer Fisch serviert.
