East Tyrol North Hiking Guide

<p>The epitome of gentle tourism: 60 hikes and mountain routes in the East Tyrolean part of the Hohe Tauern National Park</p> <p>The "sunny land" of East Tyrol - almost half of which is higher than 2000 meters - is one of the most attractive hiking regions in the Alps. The Rother Hiking Guide East Tyrol North presents the part of the country that is predominantly part of the Hohe Tauern National Park - dominated by impressive and famous rock and ice peaks such as the Grossglockner and the Grossvenediger. The routes presented run through various mountain groups: the Venediger, Granatspitz, Glockner, Schober, Lasörling and Rieserferner groups as well as the Defereggengebirge. These impressive mountain backdrops and the unspoilt nature of the East Tyrolean valleys offer a wide range of varied hikes.</p> <p>Helmut Dumler and Gerhard Hirtlreiter, renowned authors and experts on East Tyrol, have put together 60 attractive routes in the East Tyrolean National Park region. These include routes for leisure hikers as well as challenging summit tours for committed mountaineers: the difficulty scale ranges from tranquil valley walks - such as the Umbalfälle water trail - to comfy hut and alpine pasture hikes to alpine (but ice-free) routes up imposing three-thousand-metre peaks: Muntanitz, Hochschober, Lasörling and Böses Weibl are the best known. Hikers come very close to the Großglockner at the Stüdlhütte scissors. And on the multi-day crossing of the Schober group, the Petzeck is climbed, at 3283 m the highest peak in this mountain group.</p> <p>Each route in the Rother Hiking Guide East Tyrol North has a route description with information on how to reach the starting point (by car, post bus or hut cab), a colored hiking map with the route marked, a meaningful elevation profile and detailed directions. For the 8th edition, this Rother hiking guide has been completely revised and extended by 68 pages.</p> <p
