Sizilien

Mountains and sea - pure hiking bliss! In Sicily, the highest peaks rise up to 2000 meters above sea level, with Mount Etna reaching as high as 3300 meters into the clouds. Rushing mountain streams carve their way through rugged hilly landscapes. Deep gorges provide refreshment during scorching heat, and white dream beaches invite you to take a break for a swim. A hiking area could hardly be more diverse. The Rother hiking guide "Sicily" presents 61 varied tours.

The selection ranges from easy beach hikes to challenging mountain treks. It leads through remote nature reserves, to ancient sites, along beaches by the turquoise sea, and to the Aeolian Islands off the northern coast of Sicily. Here, between lake and mountain climates, there is a hiking region for the whole year.

Each tour is presented with a detailed route description, a hiking map with the marked route, and an informative elevation profile. Of course, there are also numerous tips for places to eat and sights to see. GPS tracks are available for download. Atmospheric images inspire you to start your vacation in Sicily right away.

The authors Dorothee Sänger and Michael Gahr, who have been traveling to Sicily for many years, invite you with this Rother hiking guide to discover the adventurous realm of myths and legends.
