Reiseführer Korsika

An island, two departments, a mini-continent – Corsica is a natural fortress in the Mediterranean, characterized by stunning nature, high mountains, wide beaches, and coastal lagoons. Travelers are also drawn to its remote landscapes, wild cliffs, medieval villages, and mysterious castles. Experience the island of Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon, in all its splendor. Hike along one of the most charming mountain trails in Europe, traverse the island on the narrow-gauge railway, discover secluded beaches and the remote village of Girolata, and climb Monte Rotondo with its many mountain lakes. Let yourself be enchanted not only by nature but also by the tumultuous history of Corsica, which has left its mark on the architecture, culture, and way of life of the Corsicans, and visit picturesque towns like Erbalunga or Vescovato. Each chapter of the current Corsica travel guide begins with a double page that presents the contents along with an overview map of the regions, highlights, and page references. Additionally, it contains tried-and-true practical tips on travel matters from A to Z. The expanded introduction features overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly overview of festivals and events, route and hiking suggestions, as well as the author's personal top tips. Many special pieces of information, such as travel details and the diverse range of activities available, serve as helpful planning aids. Detailed excursions into history, land, and people also distinguish this current travel guide, along with a small French language guide.
