Kanalinseln – Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Herm und Alderney

Off the coast of the French Normandy, in the English Channel between England and France, lie the British Channel Islands. They are a true hiking paradise year-round. With a mild climate, coastlines featuring rugged cliffs, idyllic bays, sandy beaches, and long dune chains, they offer exceptional hiking opportunities with stunning sea views. The Rother hiking guide "Channel Islands" presents 40 hikes on the inhabited islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Herm, and Alderney.

The hikes allow you to experience the diversity of the Channel Islands. Due to the particularly high tidal differences in the English Channel, extensive mudflat walks are possible far out to sea. Inland, solitary valleys, streams, and lush green meadows invite exploration. A mild climate year-round fosters a lush and almost Mediterranean vegetation with unique floral displays. Along the trails, fortress towers, castles, churches, mansions, and parks remind visitors of the turbulent history between British and French rule. The hikes take place on beautiful "footpaths" that wind through the landscape and along the coast.

Each hike in the Rother hiking guide "Channel Islands" features a reliable route description, a hiking map with the marked route, and an elevation profile. GPS tracks are available for download, making navigation easy while on the go. In addition to the route descriptions, the hiking guide provides information on how to get there, bus connections on the islands, and ferry connections between the islands, allowing for the combination of multiple islands during a vacation. Fascinating information about geography, history, and nature makes the Rother hiking guide an ideal companion for anyone looking to discover the Channel Islands in all their splendor.
