Romania: Transylvania - Lucy Mallows - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

Romania: Transylvania - Lucy Mallows - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

This new, fourth edition of Bradt''s Romania: Transylvania remains the only standalone, full-length, English-language travel guidebook to Transylvania - the legendary, enchanting and increasingly popular region of Romania. Co-authored by former British Ambassador to Romania Paul Brummell, Romania: Transylvania has been thoroughly updated by prolific travel writer Tim Burford, who wrote his first Romania guide in 1991. Transylvania (the ''land beyond the forest'') is a wild, wooded, intensely romantic region, filled with mountains and gorges, myths and legends, dragons, bears, wolves - and vampires. Bram Stoker called it ''one of the wildest and least-known parts of Europe'', a description that remains true today. Comprehensive chapter-per-county coverage caters for a diverse range of interests, from city breaks to rural escapes, skiing to wildlife watching.One of the most beautiful regions in central Europe and home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, Transylvania preserves its cultural and artistic treasures in a landscape bordered on three sides by the Carpathian Mountains, which provide Romania''s finest skiing and hiking destinations. Hay meadows in the Lower Carpathians form a grassland ecosystem of extraordinary diversity, offering beautiful wildflower displays. The Carpathians are home too to lynx, wild boar and one of Europe''s largest populations of brown bear. Other natural phenomena include the Scarisoara Ice Cave in the Apuseni Mountains and the Sfanta Ana volcanic crater lake in Harghita County.Transylvania''s cultural riches include the Dacian fortresses of the Orastie Mountains, including Sarmizegetusa Regia, conquered by Roman Emperor Trajan in AD106. Historic Sighisoara is a picture-perfect medieval hill town. The fortified churches of southern Transylvania are testament to the perils of life in medieval Saxon communities, subject to frequent attacks from Ottoman raiders. The historic cities of Cluj, Sibiu and Brasov are rightly feted (and host internationally renowned film, electronic music and theatre festivals). At Turda''s salt mine, you can ride the big wheel in an underground amusement park. And, if you''re inspired by the Hotel Transylvania or Twilight films, why not follow the Dracula trail, visiting sites linked to Bram Stoker''s novel? Whatever your interests, with Bradt''s Romania: Transylvania, you can discover the region''s many and varied attractions.

Camping Road Trips UK - Caroline Mills - Bog - Bradt Travel Guides - Plusbog.dk

WINNER - TRAVEL GUIDE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 (British Guild of Travel Writers)Camping Road Trips: UK showcases a personal selection of 30 road trips throughout the UK and Jersey (Channel Islands), all suitable for campervans, motorhomes, long-distance cyclists and any other road user who likes camping. All have been handpicked by experienced travel writer Caroline Mills, who has over 20 years'' experience of camping, caravanning and motorcaravanning.Whether a novice camper or experienced road-tripper, a solo adventurer or family group, these self-guided tours provide inspiration to explore a region of the UK slowly and intensively. There are routes of all distances, from weekends covering no more than 20 miles to routes of 500 miles and more for those enjoying a longer holiday - all while overnighting in some of Britain''s most beautiful locations.Collectively the routes explore some of the UK''s very best scenery - from coastal views and mountains, forests and national parks, vineyards, lakesides and riverbanks, to pastoral idylls, wilderness and vibrant cities brimming with architectural heritage. They follow rural lanes, mountain roads with cautiously exciting hairpin bends, national A-roads of historic note and the odd official touring route such as Scotland''s famous North Coast 500. Routes allow time to explore unexpected destinations, while well-known places are here visited out-of-season to avoid congestion and encourage year-round camping.Many routes are themed, helping readers enjoy a region''s food and drink, discover its gardens, or visit historic and cultural sites such as Lincolnshire''s aviation history. Many encourage ''slow travel'' activities like walking or cycling. You can explore Teesdale''s traditional hay meadows and wildflowers on foot, let your tastebuds roam around England''s increasingly influential sparkling-wine industry, discover the beauty of Northern Ireland''s ancient Kingdom of Mourne, stay at a tea plantation on Dartmoor, or view Dover''s famous White Cliffs from a rib.Camping Road Trips: Britain is written in a highly personal style, based upon the author''s own travels - typically as a solo female or with her three children - and is designed to entice readers to explore a region further at their own pace, taking in their own interests to produce a relaxing and rewarding holiday.
