Walensee

Humans long for nature and authenticity. We rediscover simplicity, the elemental, and the genuine. How liberating it is to soak our feet in a mountain stream, how refreshing a walk through a rainy forest can be! After a conversation with inspiring people, we feel enriched. This is why the new hiking book series by Appenzeller Verlag and publicist Peter Donatsch is called "Paths to Switzerland." The first volume takes us to the region in the St. Gallen Oberland and the Bündner Herrschaft, known to tourists as the holiday region of Heidiland. The book tells stories and portrays people, suggests strolls, hikes, and mountain tours, and highlights special lake experiences and culinary discoveries. The author reflects on the history of the region and reports on new projects. The volume contains all the practical information needed for exploration: travel times and difficulties, hotels and huts, means of transport and attractions, as well as map sketches and numerous stunning photographs.
