Sardinia by Andreas Stieglitz
Pocket-sized and in full colour, this guide describes six long car tours (each spread over 2-3 days), highlighting places where you can stop for a walk or just a stroll to a lovely picnic setting. There is an accompanying fold-out touring map. But the major part of the book is devoted to 22 main walks and their many variations, all illustrated with large-scale topographical maps (1:50,000). While there is a good public transport system on the island, it serves the towns and is of little use to walkers; the island is best explored by car. Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean, is a countryside-lover's paradise. Its landscapes range from rough terrain to gentle sand dunesa...from rocky windswept plains reminiscent of Africa to rolling hills with lush pasturesa...from towering oak-clad mountains to rocky coasts lapped by a turquoise sea. The fragrant Mediterranean macchia permeates the scenery, with colourful rock roses and an extravaganza of wild flowers in spring. Using this guide, you quickly leave all traces of tourism behind. There is a lovely pastoral feel to the Sardinian countryside. Flocks of sheep graze on verdant grassy slopes, moufflons and wild boar roam the rugged highlands, and eagles hover silently above you. A unique on-line update service keeps users abreast of any route changes since publication of the book. The Landscapes Series (with over 50 destinations) has been dubbed 'the blue Bibles' by the Sunday Times.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
