Reiseführer Auvergne, Cevennen mit 29 Wanderungen und 6 Fahrradtouren

It lies in the heart of France and yet is its most remote region: Auvergne represents rugged and barren plateaus with deeply carved canyons, Romanesque churches and castles, small villages, pristine river courses, thermal springs, waterfalls, and a rich flora and fauna. It is the ideal travel destination for those who love to be active, whether hiking, canoeing on the Tarn or Ardèche, climbing, paragliding, fishing, cycling, or skiing – and for those who appreciate the little wonders along the way. This comprehensive travel guide explores the interesting places in Auvergne: from Bourbonnais through Clermont-Ferrand in the heart of the volcanic Auvergne, across Livradois-Forez and Haute-Loire, Aubrac, and the Lot Valley to Ardèche and the Cevennes National Park. It is aimed at travelers who wish to discover Auvergne and the Cevennes on their own and provides active individuals and nature lovers with 29 hiking routes, six cycling tours, and numerous other route suggestions to explore the diverse landscape of central France. Additionally, there are detailed excursions on history, land, and people. Each chapter begins with a double page that presents the contents with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Naturally, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips for travel questions from A to Z. In the extended preface, there are overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly overview of festivals and events, route suggestions, and personal top tips from the author. Many special pieces of information, such as travel details and various activity options, serve as helpful planning aids. A small travel vocabulary in French assists in making contact with the locals.
