Jungfrau - Aletsch: Walking on the edge of the World Heritage Site

<p>These short hikes have a kick: the Rother hiking book "kurz &amp; gut! Bavarian Forest" presents 50 hikes that take no more than 45 minutes to four hours to complete. From a comfy walk to an adventurous discovery tour - this book has something for everyone who is looking for something special and doesn't want to be out and about all day.</p><p>In addition to classic mountain peaks such as the Arber, Rachel or Lusen, the selection also includes some less frequented peaks such as the Riederin or the Gsengetstein. However, some of the routes really get down to business, be it the dizzying climb at Höllensteinsee, the "Kniebrecher" above Graflinger Tal or the ridge hike from Berggasthof Maria Hilf near Lam. Other hikes lead to lookout towers, castles or their ruins and visit historically significant places. This colorful mix of hikes brings the Bavarian Forest and the neighboring regions of the Bohemian Forest and southern Upper Palatinate Forest closer to you in all their diversity and brevity.<br></p><p>Each hike has an exact route description, a hiking map with a marked route and a meaningful elevation profile. Downloadable GPS tracks guarantee perfect orientation in the terrain. And because there is still plenty of time, the carefully researched cultural and refreshment tips are the perfect way to round off the tour afterwards.<br></p><p>The author Eva Krötz, born in Altmühltal, lives in Regensburg and has made the Bavarian and Upper Palatinate Forest her second home. She has already published several hiking guides for this region with Rother Bergverlag.<br></p><p
