Explore Europe on Foot gives travelers an alternative way to discover Europe. A hiking vacation offers countless rewards: the time to admire the tidiness of a village farm, soak in the rugged alpine view from a rocky perch, and absorb a country through the smells of its landscape and encounters with locals. Explore Europe on Foot is a complete guide to conceptualizing, planning, and executing the slow-travel hike (or hikes!) of a lifetime.  Author Cassandra Overby tells you how you can spend all, or even just part, of your vacation enjoying scenery, small towns, and cultural experiences most travelers miss--all without carrying a big backpack. This guide offers all the nuts and bolts you need: how to choose a route that is right for you, how to plan, what to pack, what to expect, how to find accommodations and food, how to deal with challenges along the way, and so much more. These aren't wilderness backpacking trips, but rather a wide range of town-to-town walks that offer the opportunity to have an authentic, affordable, restorative vacation.    Travelers will also appreciate overviews of fifteen long-distance trails in Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey, with itineraries that range from one to fifteen days. For those unwilling to go all-in, Cassandra also offers tips on incorporating day-hike outings into a more traditional vacation. The focus is on how to craft that more immersive vacation so users of the guide will be able to apply what they learn to their own dream destinations.    15 Handpicked Walks include: Rota Vicentina, Portugal English Way, Spain Mont Saint-Michel, France Alsace Wine Route, France Tour du Mont Blanc, France and Italy Cinque Terre 2.0, Italy Lycian Way, Turkey Alpine Pass Route, Switzerland King Ludwig's Way, Germany The Moselle, Germany The Ardennes, Luxembourg and Belgium The Lake District, England, UK West Highland Way, Scotland, UK Laugavegur Trek, Iceland The Sahara Desert, Morocco","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49536139723025,"sku":"GOR011292067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49725028958481,"sku":"CIN1680511076VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50006163095825,"sku":"CIN1680511076G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50138909507857,"sku":"CIN1680511076A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045601640721,"sku":"NIN9781680511079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1680511076.jpg?v=1750928557"},{"product_id":"home-base-hiking-europe-book-cassandra-overby-9781680516159","title":"Home Base Hiking Europe","description":"\u003cb\u003eOne-of-a-kind guidebook showcases ten stunning European destinations to base yourself in for a perfect day-hiking and sight-seeing vacation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eForeword INDIES Book of the Year Award Winner in Travel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpotlights \"home-base\" travel itineraries in Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach destination features four detailed day-hikes, including maps and directions, as well as food, sights, and other activities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet away from tourists and instead immerse yourself in unique culture and trails\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Author of the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eExplore Europe on Foot\u003c\/i\u003e, Cassandra Overby now shares her hand-picked destinations and itineraries for a \"home-base\" adventure--stay in just one or two places while enjoying day trips on the region's trails and other activities.
