Baltikum – Litauen, Lettland und Estland

The Baltics offer a multitude of unforgettable experiences. The vibrant cities of Vilnius, Kaunas, Riga, and Tallinn alone are worth the trip. However, it is particularly nature that provides magical moments: the landscapes enchant with waterfalls, mixed forests, and moors, while countless islands and dunes await discovery along the coast. These special places are best experienced on foot. The Rother hiking guide "Baltics – Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia" presents the most beautiful hikes.

The featured hikes promise extraordinary nature experiences, especially along the white sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea. Estonia captivates with its rugged coastline and approximately 2000 offshore islands. The overwhelming nature of Estonia is also evident in its six national parks and numerous nature parks, where the Nordic fauna and flora can be found in all their diversity. With a bit of luck, one might even spot moose.

Latvia offers two outstanding hiking areas highlighted in the guidebook. The picturesque coastline entices with endless sandy beaches bordering gigantic pine forests. The Gauja Valley, also known as the "Latvian Switzerland," impresses with historical knight and bishop castles set against a scenic backdrop.

Lithuania, the southernmost of the three Baltic republics, offers breathtaking hikes along the Curonian Spit. This narrow peninsula runs parallel to the Lithuanian coast and is characterized by massive dunes and pine forests.

The Rother hiking guide "Baltics" accompanies each hike with a reliable route description, a map excerpt with the marked trail, and an elevation profile. Additionally, GPS tracks are available for download to facilitate navigation on the go. The book also provides many useful tips for travel, restaurants, and local spots, as well as numerous attractions.
