Israel Wanderführer

<p>The first German-language hiking guide for Israel&nbsp;</p><p>Israel - a small country with big contrasts! A young, westernized state with oriental charm and citizens made from all corners of the world. A country with plenty of sights that is popular with cultural tourists and pilgrims alike. Israel's extremely varied nature is best experienced on foot. The Rother hiking guide "Israel" invites you on a journey of discovery through this small, well-known and yet unknown country with 41 routes.&nbsp;</p><p>Biblical landscapes with Mediterranean olive groves and vineyards, the Dead Sea with salt-encrusted shores, ochre-colored rocky deserts below sea level, sacred sites of different cultures and religions - they leave unforgettable impressions on every hiker. And, incidentally, hikes offer extraordinary opportunities to meet the Jewish and Arab inhabitants, who also like to travel on foot.</p><p>The hiking guide presents all of Israel's scenic facets: the wooded heights of the Galilee, the species-rich wetlands of the Jordan Valley and the Negev desert with the largest erosion craters on earth. From summery walks through dune landscapes and along dream beaches by the sea to lengthy routes through canyon-like wadis (dry valleys) and challenging summit climbs, all levels of difficulty are on offer. A unique curiosity: some routes run up to over 300 meters below sea level!</p><p>Interesting information on historical backgrounds and biblical references make many hikes a cultural and historical experience. All tour suggestions have precise route descriptions, map sections with marked routes and informative altitude profiles. GPS data is available for download. Author Winfried Borlinghaus knows Israel inside out - his tour suggestions are all located in selected, safe areas.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Winfried Borlinghaus | Rother | 1st edition 2017 | 160 pages | 41 elevation profiles and hiking maps at a scale of 1:15,000 / 1:25,000 / 1:50,000, an overview map, 96 color illustrations | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
