Planlegger du togferie?

Ferie med tog gir deg en super innføring i hvordan du enkelt kan velge tog som fremkomstmiddel til din neste ferie. Planlegger du din neste ferietur langs togskinner i Norge, Norden eller i resten av Europa?

Da er Ferie med tog - Reiseglede langs skinnene boka for deg! Boka er full av praktiske tips og inspirerende turforslag og er skrevet av Sigrid Elsrud som står bak den populære togbloggen.no.

Finn et nytt sted, og gi det en sjanse! Ofte kan en tilfeldig valgt prikk på kartet vise seg å være en perle, men vi må ta oss tid til å gå av toget for å oppleve den, er Elsruds oppfordring.

Å bruke tog som fremkomstmiddel på ferieturen er mer populært enn noen gang før. Ikke først og fremst på grunn av tung markedsføring eller politiske vedtak. Snarere tvert imot. Trenden har kommet nedenfra, fra folk som selv har brettet ut kartet, funnet reiseruter langs bakken – og som gjør det igjen og igjen.

I vår felles norske bevissthet har nok lange togreiser fortsatt liten plass. Kanskje fordi feriereiser med tog krever litt mer planlegging på forhånd? Feriereiser med tog er ikke alltid så tilrettelagt som andre reiser og ferieformer. Når reisene ikke ligger som ferdige tilbud foran oss, kan det være lett å glemme at de finnes. Mange tenker ofte på kronglete billettsystemer og dårlig togtilbud mellom Norge og resten av Europa som de største barrierene for en togferie

Men det krever ikke så mye som mange kanskje tror.
Og med den nye boken til Sigrid Elsrud får du super hjelp på veien mot din neste ferie på skinnene.

Elsrud gir blant annet en rekke konkrete og spennende tips til enkle togferier og gode reiseruter, hun forteller om bra nettsider og gode reisebyrå, hun lærer deg å finne frem på europakartet selv, gir nyttige råd for alt fra bagasje til togbilletter i Europa og lærer deg hvordan du kan bli kjent med verktøy og tjenester som kan hjelpe på reisen.

I Ferie med tog finner du veldig mye nyttig innhold når du skal planlegge togferie, blant annet disse kapitlene:

• Råd om bagasjen 
• Tre enkle togferier
• Fem gode råd for nybegynneren
• Interrail - eller ikke interrail?
• Finland – på skinner mellom tusen sjøer
• Mjøsa – en ferieperle i Innlandet
• Ljubljana – den perfekte byen for en togferie
• Milano – mellom Alpene og Middelhavet
• Spania – togreisen gir oss Europa med på kjøpet

Europe may be small in comparison to Canada, but it is densely populated and difficult to map as a continent while providing detail. Eastern Europe used to be defined as everything behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, but now it encompasses everything east of Germany and Switzerland, which means that this map covers Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries, the Central European countries of Romania and Hungary and most of Ukraine, Poland and the three Baltic states, and western Russia as far east as Volgograd, as well as much of Turkey. It is a combined road and rail map, showing motorways and major highways, fast-train routes in red and regular services in black. It also shows major cruise line routes, although many have been suspended due to Covid and political situations in Russia and Turkey.

Essentially, this is a map covering a very large area, as are our maps of Western and Central Europe, and our earlier map of Scandinavia. We have tried to make it politically correct, which is difficult considering the Russian occupation of Crimea and the Donetsk region of Ukraine and the on-going controversy over the ‘proper’ name for Macedonia, so we apologize for any errors. For simplicity’s sake, we have named most place names in English, so Roma is Rome and Moscva is Moscow etc. Fortunately, most English place names are the same in the local languages. However, being ITMB, Naples is Napoli, and Florence is Firenze, so don’t be too critical of us; we’re trying to reconcile differing perspectives.

Take the scenic route through the AmericasWhen it comes to unforgettable travel experiences, journeys through the Americas top our bucket list. Imagine a road trip across the US, cruising along the Amazon, or taking an epic train ride through the Canadian Rockies. Across this beautiful landmass, it's the journey, rather than the destination, that's always mattered the most.

Featuring over 150 inspirational entries, Unforgettable Journeys The Americas is a vibrant celebration of taking the scenic route. We've picked the best adventures across the Americas, from soaking up the oceanside scenery on a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway to sailing between sandy islands in the Caribbean. Of course, the big-hitters are covered - hiking the mammoth Appalachian Trail, driving along the iconic Route 66, and cruising past icy glaciers in Alaska and the Inside Passage - but we also take you off-the-beaten path, roaming Guyana's Kaieteur Falls, kayaking through Canada's Nahanni River, and navigating the twisting corners of the Hana Highway in Hawaii.

We've organized the book by types of transport, so whether you're an avid hiker, cyclist or driver, or love to be on the water or on the rails, we've got you covered. It's time to take the slow road and truly appreciate all the Americas have to offer.

Great Railway Journeys in New Zealand and Australia is an absorbing description of 35 trips that highlight some of the most interesting, scenic and rewarding railway journeys in both countries. These include the renowned long-distance journeys, such as The Indian Pacific that takes travellers on a three-day trip from Perth to Sydney, and the The Northern Explorer in New Zealand's North Island that stretches from Wellington to Auckland, as well as those that traverse stunning scenery, such as New Zealand's TranzAlpine train or the Spirit of the Outback in Australia. There are also routes on which restored steam locomotives operate and other lines included for the wonder of their engineering.

Also included is New Zealands' Coastal Pacific that runs between Picton and Christchurch, now fully operational again since being shut in the aftermath of the 2016 earthquake. Trains are a great way to travel in both countries, taking you at ground level past superb scenery that often cannot be seen by any other means of transport. David Bowden's entertaining text describes the route, the major features of interest along the way and any special technical details about the locomotive or the track.

The many islands off the coast of Greece can only be mapped properly a few at a time. Side 1 of this map shows the large island of Crete in good detail, with the relatively nearby island of Mykonos and its adjacent island of Rinia and the island of Santorini, with its adjacent islands of Thirasia and Nea Kameni being shown in great detail. A locality map showing the islands in relation to the rest of Greece is included as an inset. It is our intention to map more islands as time passes, but this depends upon future research trips (we lead a hard life!).

Side 2 of the map is a general map of Greece in relation to its neighbours to the north and east. The Mediterranean is divided into smaller seas, such as the Adriatic along the coast of Croatia, the Ionian to the west of Greece, the Myrtoan to its south and the Aegean to its east. All this area is replete with islands and geopolitical conflicts. As such, this map is useful for showing the region as an entity that links the Balkan states to the eastern Mediterranean.
