DOWNLOAD EBOOK15 day walks, 3 multi-stage treks and 5 cycle routes are described covering the north, central and southern areas of Germany's Black Forest. The walks and cycle routes are evenly distributed across all three areas and comprise both long distance routes and day walks, although each stage of every long distance walk can also be done as individual day tour. The chosen routes include the main Black Forest destinations, such as Feldberg, Belchen Schauinsland, Hornisgrinde and Mummelsee, as well as Allerheiligen Abbey and waterfalls and the source of the Danube, to name but a few. Two of the three long distance routes are certified quality trails: Schluchtensteig (120km), which means gorge trail traverses the Wutachschlucht, one of the last untamed river systems in Germany, and Zweitälersteig (108km) a highly diverse circular route which leads through some of the most beautiful and contrasting parts of the Central Black Forest. Seensteig (71km) partially follows the central ridge of the Black Forest mountain range, offering unsurpassed views along the way. The cycle routes (4 day rides, and the 242km Southern Black Forest Cycle Route) are mostly easy and scenic, and utilise the extensive and well-maintained bicycle trail system that criss-crosses the entire region. The walks and rides are described in detail and basic maps are provided for orientation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExploring one of the most popular destinations in Europe, this photographic guide illustrates Austria’s diverse scenery from Bregenz to the Viennese Forest and from the Salzkammergut to Styria. Snowcapped mountains interspersed with wooden hillsides and serene lakes are depicted, stretching as far as the plateau of the Burgenland. The country’s beautiful ski resorts and expansive lakes are captured, creating an impressive network of Alpine hiking routes that promise relaxation. Showcasing the legacy of churches and monasteries that master builders have bequeathed to Austria, this travel companion highlights structures from the Romanesque to the baroque, rivaled by almost none other. Magnificent buildings such as Melk Monastery and an array of splendid castles mirror the country’s turbulent history. The country’s many customs are explored, illustrating an intricate part of Austrian culture with many variations on the traditional national costume and a whole calendar of merry festivities. Major attractions which draw numerous visitors each year are listed, including the Festspiele in Mozart’s native Salzburg. Investigating the Danube metropolis of Vienna with its palaces and art collections at the border between eastern and western Europe, this handbook spotlights the city where Sigmund Freud once analyzed and where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms once celebrated their great musical triumphs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNATIONAL BESTSELLER • At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait—the bestselling author of River of the Gods brings us the true story of Theodore Roosevelt’s harrowing exploration of one of the most dangerous rivers on earth. “A rich, dramatic tale that ranges from the personal to the literally earth-shaking.” —The New York Times The River of Doubt—it is a black, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-tipped arrows haunt its shadows; piranhas glide through its waters; boulder-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron. After his humiliating election defeat in 1912, Roosevelt set his sights on the most punishing physical challenge he could find, the first descent of an unmapped, rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and Brazil’s most famous explorer, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, Roosevelt accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it. In the process, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever. Along the way, Roosevelt and his men faced an unbelievable series of hardships, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing whitewater rapids, and enduring starvation, Indian attack, disease, drowning, and a murder within their own ranks. Three men died, and Roosevelt was brought to the brink of suicide. The River of Doubt brings alive these extraordinary events in a powerful nonfiction narrative thriller that happens to feature one of the most famous Americans who ever lived. From the soaring beauty of the Amazon rain forest to the darkest night of Theodore Roosevelt’s life, here is Candice Millard’s dazzling debut. Look for Candice Millard’s latest book, River of the Gods.
