The go-to Slovenia travel guide travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Slovenia on foot with the Sunflower Slovenia travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.

The Sunflower Slovenia guide is indispensable for hiking in Slovenia or seeing Slovenia by car. 'Small is beautiful' certainly applies to Slovenia, which is only half the size of Switzerland. With a population of just two million, the landscape is still essentially rural.

The jagged snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps contrast with fertile valleys, full of colour and activity. Porous limestone rock has created the karst landscape; typical features can be seen everywhere and are exciting to explore - from underground rivers emerging as cascading waterfalls to narrow gorges, caves and rock arches. The mountain valleys are immaculate, with strips of vegetables and corn amidst the hayfields and orchards.

There are hop-growing areas and beautiful vineyards. Amongst these industrious people one senses an orderly contentment and a feeling that everything is in tune with nature. Tour Slovenia by car or on foot; the opportunities are endless.

This book covers the whole country except for the very northeast and southeast; there is an emphasis on the Julian Alps, with a large-scale touring map. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Slovenia.

From flowers and fountains, hilltops and history, to windmills and water-mills, this book will set your feet wandering to find them all.

There are car tours, too, to get you out and about, searching out little-known points of interest-like the huge rose compass (rosa dos ventos) on the barren promontory of Sagres, where Prince Henry the Navigator founded his school of navigation, or the Moorish castle and old Roman bridge at Paderne. But don't think for one moment that we have turned our backs on and ignored the beautiful and rugged western coastline. Wherever it is still unspoilt and free from development, the authors have incorporated it into a walk.

Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable Algarve holiday.

The parks are particularly welcoming to walkers, with miles of waymarked and well-maintained paths and trails, some bringing seemingly inaccessible summits within quite easy reach.

A two week trek from Zürich to Geneva.

This guide presents Switzerland's Jura Crest Trail or Cretes du Jura (also known as the Jura High Route and Swiss national route 5.

With over 13,500m of ascent, the trail demands a moderate level of fitness and can be comfortably completed in around a fortnight.

The Jura Crest Trail is easily accessed from Zurich and Geneva. The region boasts excellent walking infrastructure and facilities, and although the trail crosses the mountains, you are seldom too far from civilisation. The guide contains all the information you need to plan and walk the route.

You'll find advice on transport and comprehensive details of accommodation and refreshments. The trek itself is presented from east to west in 14 stages of 12-32km, with step-by-step route description accompanied by clear mapping and notes on local points of interest. The Jura Crest Trail boasts far-reaching views of the Bernese Oberland, the Haute Savoie and the Rhine and Rhone Valleys, and is rich in geological, natural and historical interest.

Passing through woodland and alpine meadows and crossing rolling limestone plateaux, highlights include the spectacular amphitheatre of the Creux du Van, the medieval towns of Baden and Brugg, and Lac de Joux, the largest lake in the Jura mountains.

Walks range from 1 to 12 miles and route descriptions are accompanied by 1:50,000 os map extracts.

Seasons: Every part of the year has much to offer, but highlights include: The spring flowers of coast and woodlands and the countless seabirds that arrive to breed on cliffs and offshore islands. Balmy summer days on the beaches can be idyllic. As autumn approaches, there are wonderful woodland colours and countless seals arriving to pup around the coast. Winters are generally mild allowing some species flower throughout the year, but snow occasionally lies on the high ground and coastal storms can be ferocious.

Centres: tenby, pembroke, narberth, haverfordwest, st david's, fishguard, cardigan

Difficulty: the walks are generally moderate between 2 and 12 miles (20km). There are some steep climbs and descents, and exposed cliff-tops demand sensible care, but nothing is overly demanding. In fair weather, common sense and basic navigation skills are sufficient to get you around.

Must see: Pembrokeshire's stunning coast, with spectacular cliffs and superb beaches. Unspoilt inland gems including the expansive preseli hills, the unfrequented upper daugleddau, superb woodlands as well as fine churches, castles, industrial heritage sites and prehistoric relics.
