Gipfelrausch & Vesperpause

What's the point of hiking? Parents know this question from their children and adults from foot-weary friends. This book provides answers that nobody can contradict and tours that nobody complains about. Hiking is good because ... - crumble cake tastes best when you eat it with a distant view of the Kandel massif. - you can dangle your legs in the front row of the nature cinema. - it is adventurous to roam through wild gorges, along rocky paths and in rustic forests. - it feels good when you are full of marvellous views and blown through by the summit wind. Florian Bechert has selected 40 hikes in the Belchen, Elztal, Feldberg, Freiburg, Kaiserstuhl, Kandel and Schauinsland regions. He has often hiked these tours with his family. He knows the southern Black Forest inside out and reveals many of his insider tips, such as the Goldsbach Gorge and Kuriseck Spick. Each route offers magnificent views, cosy benches for breaks and beautiful places to chill out. Bechert's refreshment tips are top-notch and range from sour cherry ice cream at the Eckhof to cheese cream at the Bäreneckle and Brägele on the Gießhübel.
