Uitstekende Engelstalige wandelgids van dit prachtige gebied op de grens van Engeland en Schotland.

Guidebook to 30 of the best walks in Cumbria's enchanting Eden Valley. The graded routes, which range from 3 to 15 miles, explore the region's diverse landscapes and offer dramatic views, either of the Pennines, the Lake District or the Scottish hills. 

The walks, which work well from bases such as Kirkby Steven, Dufton and Appleby, are predominantly circular. Some of the linear routes link with the Settle-Carlisle railway. Map extracts from the 1:50K OS Landranger series accompany route description, and the handy route summary table makes it easy for walkers to compare routes. Invaluable information on transport, accommodation, clothing, equipment and safety is included, as are notes on the region's geology, wildlife and history.

Situated next to the iconic Lake District, the Eden Valley is often overlooked as a walking destination. This works in its favour - it is as quiet as it is scenic - making it the perfect destination for those looking to escape the crowds. The featured routes are designed to give the walker a taste of everything the area has to offer. From peaceful woodland strolls to serious moorland hikes, and from explorations of the limestone uplands to walks on the Solway marshes, they visit just about every nook and cranny in the valley.

Guidebook to walking the John Muir Trail through California's High Sierra from Yosemite (El Capitan and Half Dome) to the summit of Mount Witney. The 216 mile hike is split into 21 daily stages, with full information on preparation, permits, wilderness, bears, water and trekking skills. Part of the Pacific Crest Trail.

The John Muir Trail (JMT) is one of the world’s most spectacular treks and is North America’s best known mid-distance walking trail. It runs for 216 miles through the high Sierra Nevada mountains of California, from Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mount Whitney (14, 496ft), the highest peak in the USA outside Alaska. The walking trail, which is named after the great 19th-century Scottish naturalist, conservationist and writer John Muir, is entirely through the unspoilt wilderness of the American West and passes through three national parks: Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

To walk the John Muir Trail successfully thorough planning is required. All you need to know to plan and prepare for your trip is contained within these pages, from obtaining trekking permits to buying trek food and forwarding food caches along the trail. Abundant advice is given on such topics as dealing with inquisitive bears, coping with altitude, negotiating river crossings, as well as tips on booking transport to and from the trailheads and on what equipment to take. In addition there is a detailed description of the flora and fauna of this remarkable region.

This guidebook of walks explores Germany's Bavarian Alps. Lying along the German-Austrian border in a thin sliver of land roughly 300km long, this area contains some of the most spectacular walking and beautiful scenery that Germany has to offer. 70 graded walks explore mountain landscapes, wild mountain gorges and alpine meadows as well as the region's picturesque villages, opulent baroque churches and fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein. The walks are divided into six mountain areas, grouped around base towns to make planning a walking holiday as easy as possible.

Bases include Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Marquartstein, Inzell, Oberammergau and Ramsau among others. Mountain walks are mainly between 3 and 8 hours duration, though some longer walks are included staying at mountain huts. The guidebook gives an outline of two multi-day tours and suggestions for shorter valley walks of less than 3hrs are also included. Relaxing beer gardens, colourful local traditions and excellent tourist infrastructure add to the region's charms, and make the Bavarian Alps the perfect destination for a walking holiday

Die Adriaküste wird seit Jahrzehnten mit reinem Badevergnügen gleichgesetzt. Millionen Mitteleuropäer haben dort schon ihren Sommerurlaub verbracht. Kaum bekannt ist allerdings, dass sich jenseits des schmalen Küstenstreifens eine der vielfältigsten Wanderlandschaften Italiens erstreckt. In den Marken und in der Romagna - so die Namen des Gebiets, das hier beschrieben wird - findet sich das ebene, von Kanälen durchzogene Podelta, liebliche Hügellandschaften, bizarre Schluchten in den Gessi Bolognesi und das Küstengebirge Monte Conero. Im Westen geht das von Kastanien- und Buchenwäldern bedeckte, von tiefen Schluchten durchzogene Vorgebirge langsam in den zentralen Apennin über. Alpine Touren sind in den bis auf 2500 m ansteigenden Monti Sibillini und in den südlich angrenzenden Monti della Laga möglich. Im Gegensatz zur nahen Küste hat das Hinterland der Adria an vielen Stellen seine Ursprünglichkeit bewahrt, so ist die Gegend noch ein Geheimtipp für Wanderer, die Stille und Beschaulichkeit suchen. Und die Infrastruktur ist erstaunlich gut. 50 ausgewählte Tagestouren, die größtenteils als Rundwanderungen konzipiert sind, befriedigen alle Ansprüche. Es wurde darauf geachtet, dass Zeit bleibt, die Sehenswürdigkeiten am Wege mit Muße zu betrachten: römische Ausgrabungen und malerische Städtchen, versteckte Kirchen und Klöster, Burgen und Schlösser. Farbbilder, farbige Wanderkärtchen und aussagekräftige Höhendiagramme zu jeder Tour ergänzen die ausführlichen Routenbeschreibungen.
