Riassunto

This book identifies, describes, and illustrates with spectacular photography a dozen of the greatest long walks in Europe and a dozen of its greatest single-day walks. Ranging from four to 15 days, these lengthy strolls are equally delightful to seasoned hikers and armchair walkers looking to relive past adventures. All the long walks are waymarked, and the day-walks are all well known in their localities. Full practical details for each walk are provided, along with statistics, maps, and appropriate historical and cultural details. The walks are described in detail, with noteworthy features of all kinds identified and explained. Lavish illustrations capture the spirit and character of each expedition.
