The go-to Croatia travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Croatia on foot with the Sunflower Croatia 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 Croatia guide is indispensable for hiking in Croatia or seeing Croatia by car. Contrasts and diversity sum up Croatia, one of the most beautiful and beguiling countries in Europe: tall forests, wind-combed prickly thornbush and juniper on the stony uplands, the miraculous waterfalls in the Plitvice Lakes and Krka national parks, the aridity of the karst landscapes, modern tourist resorts and timeless old villages, the deserted Krajina region and the intensively cultivated Neretva delta. 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.

New from Bradt is Croatia: Dalmatian Coast, a travel guidebook that focuses exclusively and in detail on this popular part of Croatia. Co-authored by travel writer Piers Letcher, who wrote six editions of Bradt's guide Croatia, and longstanding Dalmatian resident Jane Foster, Croatia: Dalmatian Coast offers intimate local insights into where best to stay and eat, and what to see and do in this gorgeous southeast European enclave. With rugged limestone mountains, crystalline turquoise waters and pine-scented islands, Dalmatia has for centuries delighted explorers - and this is where most of today's visitors to Croatia still head.

With its balmy Mediterranean climate, this is a land of silvery-green olive groves, hillside vineyards, pebble coves, waterside villages, stone cottages, wooden fishing boats and pink-flowering oleander. Meanwhile, the Dalmatian mainland is home to the well-preserved port cities of Split, Zadar and Dubrovnik (with its UNESCO-listed, pedestrians-only old town), where sturdy fortifications protect exquisite Romanesque and Baroque churches, and bustling fish markets display mounds of wide-eyed sea bream and glistening octopus. With this Bradt guide sharing a local's first-hand experience, you'll be sure to eat well: think fresh fish, local seasonal fruit and vegetables, and home-produced olive oil, whether consumed in excellent, family-run agrotourism eateries or newly Michelin-starred restaurants.

You'll drink great wines too, informed by the author's knowledge of Dalmatian wines and wine-tasting. For many visitors, Dalmatia's greatest allure involves exploring its dramatic landscapes and unspoilt nature. Castaway-style islands such as Hvar, with its rustic-chic seafood eateries and candle-lit cocktail bars, are much loved by yachters who sail around the uninhabited islets of Kornati National Park.

Then there's windsurfing off Bol on Brac, scuba diving off Vis, and sea-kayaking or paddling around the Korcula archipelago too. On the mainland, rugged mountains and gaping gorges offer yet more challenges for adventure-sports enthusiasts - try hiking the soaring limestone heights of Mt Biokovo, free-climbing in Paklenica National Park or rafting down the Cetina Gorge, in the hinterland behind Omis. Little wonder that land- and water-based adventure sports are treated to a full chapter in Bradt's Croatia: Dalmatian Coast - the perfect companion to your visit.

Written by two Croatia experts, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Croatia: Istria, with Rijeka and the Slovenian Adriatic remains the only full-length guide to this well-heeled, varied part of former Yugoslavia to include detailed background and practical information. Catering for all types of travellers (from outdoors enthusiasts to culture vultures, foodies to oenophiles) and budgets, the guide offers revised listings for accommodation, restaurants, and what to see and do. Istria crams remarkable diversity in a conveniently compact region: it takes under an hour to drive almost anywhere on the peninsula.

The region boasts some of Croatia's most famous sites, including Pula's spectacular Roman amphitheatre, Porec's UNESCO-listed Byzantine mosaics(every bit as good as Italy's Ravenna and Istanbul's Aya Sofya), picturesque medieval hill towns (such as Motovun and Draguc) and frescoes, and the Brijuni Islands National Park. In 2020, the transport hub and carnival city of Rijeka in the Kvarner region became Croatia's first ever European Capital of Culture. Istria is renowned for its cuisine, particularly pasta, game, seafood and truffles (until recently Istria held the world record for the world's largest truffle), and also produces fine wine and world-class olive oil.

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela (Camino Frances or Way of St James) is among the world's most famous pilgrimages: Christian pilgrims have travelled to the shrine of St James in Santiago, northern Spain, since the ninth century. This guide provides all the information you need to successfully cycle the Camino. The Camino Frances is the most popular variant of the Camino, linking St Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French-Spanish border with Santiago via Pamplona, Burgos and Leon.

The guide presents the journey in 18 stages. Two versions of the route are described, the first (770km) based closely on the walkers' route and suitable for hybrid or mountain bikes; the second (798km) a 'road route' for road and touring cycles. It can be cycled in around 10-14 days and is very well provisioned.

Clear route description and mapping are accompanied by notes on local points of interest, as well as background information on Spanish history and the history of the Camino. The practicalities are also thoroughly covered, including travel to and from the route, accommodation, facilities, kit and how to qualify for and obtain your Compostela (pilgrims' certificate). Whether you're seeking a spiritual journey, a physical challenge or just a holiday, the Camino promises an unforgettable experience - from the beautiful landscapes, historic towns and rich culture of northern Spain to the famed camaraderie with other wayfarers.

Blending information with inspiration, this guide is an ideal companion to cycling this UNESCO-listed route.

This guidebook to cycling the Ruta Via de la Plata through western Spain describes the 930km route from Seville to the coastal city of Gijon in around 2 weeks (14 stages). A pilgrimage variant, the Camino Sanabres, to Santiago de Compostela is also described (16 stages in total). Empty roads and gentle climbs make the route accessible to a wide range of bikes and cyclists.

Both road and off-road versions are presented, and the guide shows how they can be combined to create a perfect touring, hybrid or gravel cycling trip. The guide includes leg-by-leg route descriptions, 1:150,0000 colour mapping, elevation profiles and helpful ride planners to show where riders can swop from the off-road to the road route. There is advice on equipment, travel and transporting your bike, alongside a list of accommodation contacts and a useful Spanish glossary.

The Wild Atlantic Way is a driving route along Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, covering over 2,350km of coastline and showcasing the region's breathtaking landscapes. This guide adapts the route for cyclists - and throws in a couple of other highlights (such as the Aran Islands and Killarney) for good measure. Since relatively few people are likely to have seven weeks to spare for a full Wild Atlantic Way tour, the book presents six self-contained cycle tours, each offering 7-10 days of riding.

For the full Wild Atlantic Way experience, these distinct routes can be linked together into a 44-stage trip from Derry/Londonderry to Cork. Each route includes detailed advice on accommodation and facilities, plus optional detours and shortcuts and points of interest. The routes themselves are presented as 'route cards': ideal for use with a cycle computer, these pages provide 'at a glance' information for when you're on the road, covering navigation, facilities and local highlights.

The go-to Cyprus walking guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Cyprus on foot with the Sunflower Cyprus 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 Cyprus walking guide is indispensable for hiking in Cyprus or seeing Cyprus by car. Walking in Southern Cyprus or exploring Cyprus by car is an experience to treasure for a lifetime - or, as the Cypriots put it, 'Once been, never forgotten'. You can stroll for miles along the southeast coast or hike through the woods in the famous Troodos Mountains (stopping for lunch at one of the trout farms).

But in recent years most walkers are exploring the 'far west' - the Akamas Peninsula, now a nature reserve, where the Tourism Organisation has established some fine nature trails. In all, there are 52 nature trails on the island, some short and easy, others very demanding. Area covered: Greek (southern) Cyprus; North Cyprus is not included, except on the touring map (where place names are shown in Turkish).

Cyprus is not only famous for its cultural heritage and 9,000 year old past, Cyprus is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the eastern Mediterranean. The centre of the island is dominated by the Troodos mountain, measuring some 2000m in height, which despite its considerable altitude is more reminiscent of European low mountains, due to its softly rounded and forested peak.

This Rother hiking guide contains 50 routes mostly ranging from easy to medium level. There are mountain routes, a selection of coastal paths and adventurous ravine tours. Forest paths and nature trails lead through cedar woods, silent valleys and to remote Byzantine churches and monasteries.

Allerede da de russiske troppene begynte å samle seg ved Ukrainas østgrense begynte Andrej Kurkov - Ukrainas kanskje viktigste romanforfatter - å skrive på denne boken. Fra dag til dag følger vi hendelsene fra bakkeplan i Kyiv -senere gjennom flukt og forflytting lengre vest i landet. Kurkov, som selv er russiskspråklig, kobler skildringer av små og store hendelser i krigshverdagen med politiske og kulturelle analyser på en innsiktsfull, brennende engasjert og uhyre velskrevet måte. Boken er et nødvendig tilskudd for bedre å forstå krigen og bakgrunnen for den.

I de senere år har vi igen fået smag for at holde ferie i Danmark, og hvad er mere naturligt end at bruge nogle af feriedagene på vandreture ved Danmarks kyster?

Danmark har hav til alle sider. Intet sted i landet er vi mere end en kort køretur fra den nærmeste kyst eller fjord, og vi elsker at være ved vandet. Uanset
om turen går langs en af vores mange fjorde, eller om blikket kan indstilles på uendeligt ud over havet, giver det ro i sindet at kigge på fugle, samle sten eller
bare blive blæst igennem.

I Turen går til vandreruter ved havet i Danmark har vi samlet 25 ture i hele landet . Find inspiration til vandreruter på stier, på stranden, i klitter og på klipper, udvalgt efter skønhedsværdi, geografi og interessante naturfænomener. Beskrivelserne af de enkelte ture dykker ned i områdets landskab og de
kulturattraktioner, man møder på vejen. Ruterne er typisk på 10 km, men der er også både længere og kortere ture. Alle ender samme sted, som de begynder, så man kan tage bussen, toget, bilen eller cyklen til udgangspunktet og komme hjem igen samme sted fra.

Den store udgave af bogen indeholder fire gange så mange fotos fra ruterne som den lille samt faktabokse om dyr og planter, man kan finde på de enkelte
ture. Den store bog er altså rigtig god at få inspiration af, når man skal planlægge sine vandreture, mens den lille er lettere at have med i lommen, når man
er ude i naturen.

Fra Donaueschingen to Passau. From its headwaters in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany, the Danube flows through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe. Pristine flood-plains, picturesque villages and small towns, and a wealth of cultural landmarks line the river as it begins its long march to the distant Black Sea.
These tranquil valleys are also ideal for cycling. In recent years, many of the paths and lanes along the river have been paved specifically for bicycle tourists. As a result, almost the entire route follows smooth quiet roads that make it ideal for families with children.

Austrian Danube – From Passau to Vienne

The Danube bicycle route between Passau and Vienna ranks as Europe’s best-known and most-loved cycling route – and for good reason. No other section of the river offers as diverse a range of landscapes and cultural landmarks or as many historical sites. Tranquil valleys, fertile plains, and steep vineyards line the banks of one of Europe’s great rivers, where pretty farms and glorious abbeys stand side-by-side. The loop of the Danube at Schlögen, the abbey at Melk, and the romantic Wachau wine-producing region are just some of the highlights along the 330 kilometer route.

Easy handling with maximum information. Accurate topographical maps, numerous city and local plans, height profiles, tourist information with points of interest, comprehensive accommodation list and a lot of background information.

From Vienna to Budapest. In ancient times the Danube bordered the Roman Empire, later the river was the lifeline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Iron Curtain separated countries and ended the economic and cultural connection of the countries til 1989. The changeful history of the countries at the Danube cycle route between Vienna and Bratislava cannot only be seen in cities like Bratislava, Györ or Esztergom, but also right next to the route at the roman excavations at Petronell-Carnuntum. The cycling tourist can look forward to excellent cycling paths on the dykes that line the Danube which leads him through its floodplains. Not less scenic is the Danube's Bend near Visegrád where the river turns south and is headed to Hungarian capital city, Budapest.
