Szállítási határidő: 1 hét Iceland, the island of fire and ice, has an almost
magical allure for all nature-lovers. Active volcanoes and vast lava deserts
stand in direct opposition to utterly boundless glacial. Massive waterfalls and
geysers leave a striking impression, as do the unique plant and animal world.
This unique ancient countryside guarantees unforgettable experiences in nature,
but it also presents special challenges especially to the hiker. There is no
network of huts and trails as we are used to in the Alps, and the weather also
can be very unpredictable. Gabriele and Christian Handl, the two authors of the
hiking guide to Iceland, lead the reader along selected, safe and
reliably-described trails to those natural splendours of Iceland which are only
accessible to hikers. Included are descriptions of short, impressive walks, as
well as recommendations for trips lasting lasting only a single day or several.
The suggested walks are accompanied by an exact description of the route, map
extracts showing the course of the route and informative height profiles; the
colour-coded grade of difficulty facilitates your choice. Numerous notations and
tips prepare the hiker for the distinctive features of Europe?s northernmost
country. Tantalising photos provide stimulation for the upcoming walking
holiday. This fourth edition of the walking guide has been fully revised and, in
addition, five new walks have been included. Also, all of the walks are now
provided with GPS data which can be downloaded.
