Sardinien

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean and is one of the most popular beach destinations in Europe. Many newcomers to Sardinia are surprised to learn that the island is mountainous. The countless opportunities for hikers and climbers seem exotic. And that’s exactly the appeal: traveling to Sardinia for a hiking holiday is a completely new experience. The island surprises with unparalleled diversity, featuring paradisiacal, wild landscapes that range from the rugged cliffs in the east to the majestic high mountains in the center, and the gentle rolling hills in the west, not to mention the lush forest regions in the south and the bizarre granite mountains in the north.

In this newly created hiking guide, Walter Iwersen and Elisabeth van de Wetering present 63 selected hikes. The range includes everything from peaceful beach walks to adventurous cliff hikes. The special highlight of this edition: in addition to excellent color photographs, colorful hiking maps, informative elevation profiles, and particularly detailed route descriptions, each tour is complemented by the provision of GPS waypoints, which can be downloaded for free from the internet.
