In our times, characterised by the destruction of nature, Iceland, the island of fire and ice, has an almost magical allure for all nature-lovers. Active volcanoes and vast lava deserts stand in direct opposition to utterly boundless glacial landscapes - Iceland is a country which is still in the process of originating anew, a process which repeats itself over and over. Massive waterfalls and geysers leave a striking impression, as do the unique plant and animal world. This unique ancient countryside guarantees unforgettable experiences in nature, but it also presents special challenges especially to the hiker. There is no network of cabins and trails as we are used to in the Alps, and the weather also can be very unpredictable.Christian Handl and Gabriele Schießl, the two authors of the n...

In 50 hikes, this guide opens up Southern Norway between Oslo, Bergen and Lindesnes: The range spans from the highest peaks in Northern Europe, in Jotunheimen National Park, to the picturesque forests and lakes in Telemark and the high heathland areas over the waterfall-rich Setesdal valley, from the cliff scenery in Rogaland and on the glacier-covered Folgefonn peninsula, to the panoramic domes and plant oases of Rondane National Park, from the mountains near Oslo, to Hårteigen.With a selection of hikes for every physical condition, Bernhard Pollmann, one of the finest experts on Norway as a hiking paradise, describes “easy“ and “difficult“ routes - family-friendly hikes are included, as are climbs up deserted peaks, challenging day-long hikes, and tours covering several days from cabin t...

Gran Canary not only enjoys a fabulous reputation as a paradise of sunshine and beaches; it can also be described as one of the most versatile hiking islands of the Canary Archipelago. Connoisseurs praise it as a miniature continent because of its diversity of landscapes: shimmering dunes in contrast with luscious subtropical valleys, deep ravines with palm tree oases and glittering reservoirs, next to which are extensive pine tree forests and green slopes with grazing sheep and goats. To the North West cliffs drop down 800 m deep into the ocean, while in the centre of the island serrated, almost 2000 metre high ridges and bizarre rock monoliths emerge, which the Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno once interpreted as “fossilised storms of fire and lava“.This Rother walking guide - following ...

Madeira (en anglais)

Every island thrives on its clichés. The name Madeira stands for a heavy drop of wine which might have had its time a long time ago, yet is still praised by many a connoisseur. The island's all-year-round mild climate helped Madeira be awarded the decorative suffix “floating floral island in the Atlantic“. Bird of paradise and torch lilies, daisies and hydrangea leave no doubt: Madeira is rich in flowers like no other island. And secretly the Atlantic beauty has developed into a hiking paradise of the special kind.The first Portuguese word which hikers learn on Madeira is bound to be “levada“. Levada hiking is surely unique on the whole world. A sophisticated network of narrow irrigation canals runs across the entire island. The maintenance paths installed next to canal trenches allow the ...

Cyprus is not only famous for its cultural heritage and 9000 year old past - “Aphrodite's Island“ 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 2000 m 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 proposes 40 routes mostly ranging from easy to medium level. Next to mountain tours, it also includes a selection of coastal paths along bizarre cliffs and adventurous ravine tours. Forest paths and nature trails lead through aromatic cedar woods, silent valleys and to remote Byzantine churches and monasteries. Classic spring tours are those which take visitors across the...

Crete is hiking territory for all seasons. In the winter, when snow and rain showers sweep over Central Europe, moderate temperatures are characteristic here. Spring unfurls its colourful carpet of flowers over the island early in the year. There is still snow on the high mountains, but in the valleys, trees are resplendent with oranges, ox-eye daisies and poppies colour the fields, and rare kinds of orchids display themselves to hikers. In the summer and autumn, however, the higher destinations beckon travellers - especially the White Mountains and Ida Mountain. The sun of the Mediterranean is ever-present.This Rother hiking guide presents hikers with a wide variety of entertaining tour recommendations which include all regions of the western part of the island: from strenuous excursions ...
