Description
Sunflower Landscape Guide – Italian Lakes
These great expanses of water, bound to the north by high mountains and stretching down towards the Lombardy Plain, all resulted from glacial activity. While this guide focuses primarily on walking the Italian Lakes, you can gain huge satisfaction from touring the Lakes by car as well. Whether on foot or by car, you will discover timeless hill villages, ancient mule tracks and panoramic mountain viewpoints.
While the terms ‘Italian Lakes’ generally refers to Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano, Lake Como and Lake Garda, there are many other, smaller lakes, some of which are included in this guide.
5 car tours (with accompanying touring maps), 38 main walks with many alternative and shorter variations (each illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps), 21 picnic suggestions. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher’s website, maintained daily.
The ‘Landscapes’ series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed ‘the blue Bibles’ by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
