Vil du krysse Alpene? Her er din turguide! Vi har pakket inn all vår erfaring på den europeiske langdistanseturstien E5 i denne boken og vil gjerne gi deg råd og kunnskap om ruten mellom Bodensjøen og Verona. Vi beskriver hele E5 fra grensetrekanten til Bodensjøen via Oberstdorf i Allgäu til Bolzano i Sør-Tirol og videre til Verona i Middelhavet. Selvfølgelig beskriver vi også det vakre og ekstremt populære alternativet Oberstdorf - Merano i detalj, med insidertips fra fjellskolene som kjører "Panoramastien". har gjort det til et program. Du bestemmer over dine krav og erfaring: Sett sammen din egen tur fra totalt 30 dagsetapper, 600 kilometer og 7 varianter av den vanlige ruten fra lett til svært krevende - hytte og informasjonskataloger med kontaktdetaljer, samt informasjon om påmelding og avkjøringsmuligheter med offentlig transport hjelper deg med dette.

Hvilken del av alpeoverfarten vil du ha? Den mellom Oberstdorf og Syd-Tirol med alpine utfordringer, taggete rygger, brusende fjellbekker, glitrende klare fjellvann, isbreverden og hyttemagi? Eller vil du heller nyte en rolig fottur mellom Bozen og Verona: gjennom panoramautsikt og kulinariske høydepunkter? Gjennom kulturell innsikt i utilslørte, sjarmerende fjellandsbyer som bare en turgåer kan få? Og selvfølgelig en piknik under stjernene på Opera di Verona, med rødvin og pecorino? I de sørlige Dolomittene kunne du også gå i Europas historiske fotspor og krysse grenser som det en gang ble kjempet hardt om: i et vakkert monument for fred, Pasubio-fjellene.

Eller vil du rett og slett gå mot opplevelsen av langturer – preget av natur, kultur, møter, redusert forbruk og mye, mye tid? Den europeiske langdistanseturstien E5 kombinerer alt dette. Noe som er så mye mer enn den populære alpeovergangen fra Oberstdorf til Meran. For å fullt ut kunne nyte stiens allsidighet inneholder boken følgende elementer: Fire seksjonsbeskrivelser oppsummerer de involverte en-ukes seksjonene, samt karakteren og gir deg informasjon om varighet, beste turtid og hvordan å komme dit. Detaljerte scenebeskrivelser i vanlig, prisvinnende Rother-kvalitet viser deg veien så detaljert at du kan nå reisemålet ditt trygt, selv i dårlig vær.

Informative høydeprofiler for hver etappe, kombinert med turkartutsnitt og illustrasjoner, gir nødvendig oversikt. Informasjonsbokser bringer deg nærmere ting som er verdt å se og vite underveis og, der det er hensiktsmessig, forklarer det synlige panoramaet. Til slutt sørger en liten ordbok med de viktigste frasene som en E5-vandrer sør for Alpene bør ha med seg en uttrykksfull finale i Italia. Ha det gøy på tur!

Thoroughly updated for this new third edition, Bradt's World War I Battlefields remains the only compact practical travel guide to cover both French and Belgian battlefield sites involved in one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, which changed the face of foreign policy and European geography forever. The 2014-18 centenary of the First World War was a huge catalyst for battlefield tourism, leading to a proliferation of innovative new museums, memorials, commemorative trails, statues and more - which are comprehensively covered in this update. Co-authored by two award-winning travel writers, this lightweight and pocket-friendly guidebook is perfect for visitors.

It covers all the main sites, memorials and museums of the entire Western Front alongside practical information such as travelling there and getting around, and how to book the best guided tours. In the Belgian section of the book, chapters cover Ypres and the Ypres Salient; Poperinge, Heuvelland and Messines (Mesen); Diksmuide, Veurne and Nieuwpoort; and Mons. In the French section, as well as the Somme, battlefields in Le Nord and Lille are featured, as are those in Pas-de-Calais; Aisne; and Marne, Champagne and Verdun.

Visiting well-known Somme sights - such as Thiepval, the Somme 1916 Museum, Longueval, Le Hamel and Villers-Bretonneux - is a must for many visitors. But so, too, are Arras and the information centre dedicated to the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Battle of Fromelles Museum, the Cambrai Tank 1917 museum, the Marne 14-18 Interpretation Centre, and the Sir John Monash Centre, which tells the story of Australian soldiers' Western Front experiences in both countries. This updated and expanded edition features new information on the valuable contribution made by Black, Indian and Caribbean soldiers.

There is also refreshed, detailed advice on how to find the resting place of family members lost in battle. For history buffs, those on battlefield tours, relatives of those who fought, school groups and students, there is no finer guidebook to visiting Great War sites in both countries than Bradt's World War I Battlefields.

Greece is one of the most important touristic destinations in the world. We have travelled the country extensively and have undertaken a serious upgrading of information for this edition. As a country, Greece divides naturally into three portions - the area around Athens and the Peloponnese, the far north region centred on Thessalonica, and the marvellous islands scattered around the southern portion of Greece.

This is an overall map, showing the latest road information and noting historic and cultural sites of interest to visitors, including world heritage sites. An inset map of Athens is included, but ITMB's map of the city would be useful for those exploring Athens in detail. We also published an expanded map of the Peloponnese, and another of Crete and Mykonos.

This beautiful and inspiring book tells the stories of 80 birds around the world: from the Sociable Weaver Bird in Namibia which constructs huge, multi-nest 'apartment blocks' in the desert, to the Bar-headed Goose of China, one of the highest-flying migrants which crosses the Himalayas twice a year. Many birds come steeped in folklore and myth, some are national emblems and a few have inspired scientific revelation or daring conservation projects. Each has a story to tell that sheds a light on our relationship with the natural world and reveals just how deeply birds matter to us.
