Pyrenees 2

<p>The mountain world of the Pyrenees between Spain and France fascinates mountaineers and hikers with its rugged and wild beauty. Numerous corners here appear pristine and undiscovered, as if no one had ever set foot there. A total of four Rother hiking guides present the most beautiful hikes in the entire Pyrenees; the hiking guide "Pyrenees 2" presents 58 routes in the French Central Pyrenees from Arrens to Seix.</p><p>The outstanding attraction of the French Central Pyrenees is the Cirque de Gavarnie in the heart of the "Parc National des Pyrénées". Together with the neighboring Cirque d'Estaubé and Cirque d'Troumouse, it has been added to the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The view of the amphitheater with the magnificently formed limestone masses and the cascades plunging down is simply magnificent. The other mountain and valley landscapes of the French central Pyrenees are no less impressive. Lush green pastures, clear lakes, mighty mountain basins and proud peaks such as Balaïtous and Vignemale form a dreamlike natural landscape. There are countless opportunities to enjoy these fascinating mountain regions.</p><p>For this Rother hiking guide, author Roger Büdeler has compiled 58 scenically diverse hikes in his chosen mountain home. There are numerous short and easy routes as well as more challenging ones. Many of the hikes presented follow the GR10. Each tour suggestion is kitted out with brief information with all the important details (including places to stop for refreshments and overnight accommodation as well as variants), a detailed description, a hiking map with the route marked, a meaningful elevation profile and at least one color photo. There is also lots of information about hiking vacations in the Central Pyrenees.</p><p>The "Pyrenees 2" hiking guide has been extensively revised and expanded for the fourth edition.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Roger Büdeler | Bergverlag Rother | 4th edition 2017 | 152 pages | 88 color and 2 black and white illustrations, 58 elevation profiles and hiking maps at a scale of 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, two overview maps at a scale of 1:750,000 and 1:1,000,000 | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
