Reiseführer Ligurien, Italienische Riviera, Cinque Terre (mit 22 Wanderu

With its picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre, the Italian Riviera, and the metropolis of Genoa, Liguria is one of the most beautiful regions of Northern Italy. The palm-lined promenades of the lively seaside resorts along the coast provide a charming contrast to ancient olive groves, vineyards, and medieval castle villages in the mountainous hinterland. Some of the most beautiful hiking trails in Italy, as well as the stylish port city of Genoa with its overwhelming abundance of churches, squares, palaces, and museums, make the region even more appealing.

Follow the author to the Baia del Silenzo, the most beautiful bay in Liguria, or to the impressive stalactite caves of Toirano. Enjoy the harbor metropolis of Genoa with its winding old town streets, elegant patrician houses, an impressive variety of museums, and the Mercato Orientale – a large market where the colorful stalls and inviting atmosphere beckon for a break. Experience the Cinque Terre – the 18-kilometer-long cliff coast with its five charming villages that seem to have grown like nests into the inaccessible cliffs. Hike in the footsteps of the partisans on the fascinating high trail "Sentiero degli alpini" and try the Ligurian cuisine with its stuffed zucchini flowers, aromatic pesto, ravioli, spinach pie, mussel soup, and the ever-fresh focaccia, traditionally served with salt and olive oil.

The specially marked highlights and the author's highlighted tips make trip planning easier. 38 town maps, overview and hiking maps, numerous cross-references in the book, as well as a small Italian language guide simplify navigation.
