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 Ruta Via de la Plata is one of Spain's most important pilgrim routes. The 2-week journey takes in 7 UNESCO world heritage sites (Seville, Merida, Caceres, Salamanca, Leon, Zamora, and Oviedo) with the famous pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela if the Camino Sanabres is taken. There is lots of good-value accommodation available, from hostels to palaces, and plenty of chances to sample Spanish gastronomy.

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).

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.

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.

Tre liv fortalt på grunnlag av meditasjoner.

De Østerlands vise menn. Boken forteller om de tre stjernetyderne, som var de første til å besøke det nyfødte Jesusbarnet i Betlehem. Vi følger hver av dem fra ungdomstiden og helt til sin død.

Hvem var de? Hvor kom de fra? Hvorfor ga de røkelse, myrra og gull? Hva gjorde de etterpå? Hvordan prøvde de å forandre historien?

I bokens annen del presenteres oldtidens Meopotamia, Persia og Egypt. Kristi fødsel settes i sammenheng med Østens mysterier og Mithras-dyrkelsen. Boken motsier en rekke vante forestillinger om hendelsene rundt Kristi fødsel, og den viser ukjente detaljer og sammenhenger. Her kan vi dykke dypt ned i kulturer vi ellers kjenner lite til.

To kart gir en geografisk ramme, og en rekke illustrasjoner bringer oss til landene ved Tigris og Øvre Nilen for 2000 år siden

Boken er et nybrottsarbeid som prøver å forene to sjangere: nøktern historieskrivning og livaktig fortellinger på grunnlag av meditasjoner og visjoner.

En safari til en savanne i endring Den store løvejakten er et fargerikt møte med maasaiene i Kenya: Deres gamle fortellinger - og nye virkelighet. Kvegnomadene har i generasjoner levd i harmoni med antilopene og rovdyrene. Løver og maasaier hører hjemme på savannen, men har de fortsatt en framtid der? Beretningene kobles til løvenes urgamle historie, kolonitiden og frigjøringskrigen i Kenya, men også til turisme og nykolonialisme. Forfatteren har selv drevet med safari i Maasai Mara, og kjenner dens muligheter og forbannelser. I tillegg kan boka leses som en eventyrlig reiseskildring - ut på savannen og inn i et ukjent landskap, hvor maasaienes betydning for å redde de siste store villdyrene på kloden løftes fram.
