Reise-Handbuch Reiseführer USA, Die Südstaaten

For the 5th edition of the DuMont Travel Guide, author Axel Pinck has again done intensive research. Jazz in New Orleans, blues in the Mississippi Delta, hikers' paradises in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, swamplands in Louisiana and glittering metropolises like Atlanta - these are just a few of the key words about the southern states of the USA. From the federal capital Washington D.C. with its world-class museums and the mountainous regions of Virginia, from the beaches of the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico, to Nashville or Memphis in Tennessee to Arkansas in the West, all regions and cities worth seeing are described. In Washington, D.C., the new (2021) FUTURES exhibit and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which focuses on the Black Lives Matter movement, among other things, have been added. In Savannah, the redeveloped Plant Riverside District is filling with life. Numerous photos have also been replaced in the book.For each chapter, a double-page "At a Glance" presents the highlights, the most beautiful routes, active nature experiences and special tips from the author. Place for place Axel Pinck arranged selected accommodations, restaurants or purchase addresses, which are marked in the city maps. Hikes and canoe tours open up the most beautiful landscapes, such as the picture-perfect Shenandoah National Park or the extensive Okefenokee swamp landscape. A lot of interesting information about the southern states of the U.S., about their history and present, the everyday life of the people and the lively and polyphonic (music) culture can be read in the introductory regional studies and in the interspersed topic pages.For quick orientation, the detailed extra travel map at a scale of 1:1,500,000, an overview map with the highlights and 43 city maps, hiking and route maps.
