Reiseführer Zentralasien

All five Central Asian countries along the Silk Road in one volume: Turkestan, Osh, Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Merv, and Konya Urgentsch. History, culture, architecture, art, customs, economy, and politics are described in detail. There are many suggestions for hiking, horseback riding, and trekking in the Tien Shan and Pamir mountains.

The five "Stans" in Central Asia are each uniquely shaped by their location along the legendary Silk Road and the fairy-tale architecture of former empires. But the natural beauty of Central Asia also captivates everyone: in addition to fascinating steppe landscapes, there are also high mountain and coastal areas. Nature lovers, hikers, and independent travelers will find plenty to enjoy in the mountainous regions of the Altai, Tien Shan, and Pamir mountains, as well as by vast steppe lakes and wild rivers.

In addition to descriptions of sights and extensive service tips, this travel guide contains detailed information on the history and culture of the countries, making it suitable for both study travelers and independent tourists.
