Fohrer:Oberitalien Reiseführer MM

Few travel destinations offer as much variety as the diverse landscapes between the High Alps and the Mediterranean. Eberhard Fohrer provides a detailed and entertaining account of the journey from the eternal ice of the glaciers, through the hiking paradise of South Tyrol, down to the vast alluvial plain of the Po, and further on to the endless sea lagoons and tranquil pine forests along the Mediterranean coast. Narrow, winding roads lead up to the remote heights of the Alps, to the crystal-clear mountain lakes and giant rock formations of the Dolomites, as well as to the large bathing lakes like Lago di Garda and Lago Maggiore. Additionally, the time-honored cultural cities of Venice, Verona, Ravenna, Bologna, and Milan are introduced, along with the smaller, quieter towns in the Po Delta. The framework includes detailed information about the magnificent nature, as well as art and culture in Northern Italy. Stories about the land and its people, along with a wealth of practical travel tips, the most convenient routes, the best accommodation options, restaurants, and taverns are included in our author's compendium.
