Bizarre rocky coastlines, breathtakingly beautiful sandy bays, wonderful chestnut and pine forests, streams with clear and pure water, magical mountain lakes, summits of over 2700 metres to climb and, as a bonus, the spectacle of an almost entirely unspoilt natural landscape – what tourist region in Europe could offer something equivalent? There are few places where it is possible to combine a hiking holiday and a beach holiday as easily as on this Mediterranean island.
The Rother hiking guide "Corsica" presents the 88 most beautiful hikes along the coastline and in the mountains. For a long time now, Corsica has no longer been reserved exclusively for the initiated among hikers and mountaineers. The jewels of this island are unquestionably the exceptional summits reaching 2000 m of Monte Cinto, Monte Rotondo, Paglia Orba and Monte d'Oro, which offer the hiker the breathtaking little world of the "mountain in the sea". Likewise, the "GR 20", the famous long-distance trail of an alpine character, is extremely popular and touches on some of the routes presented in this guide.
Those who know Corsica well will also take great pleasure in browsing through this hiking guide. For beyond the main tourist circuits, author Klaus Wolfsperger, who has been exploring the island for years, presents numerous lesser-known hiking opportunities, from trails along the beaches to easily accessible panoramic summits, as well as adventurous waterfall routes. Most can be completed without any difficulty by families with children or by older people.
Precise route descriptions, map extracts with marked trails and informative altitude profiles make planning and completing the hikes easier. In addition, GPS coordinates can be downloaded. Extensive information and numerous supplementary details round out this thoroughly successful hiking guide and make it an indispensable companion for the traveller in the unparalleled mountain world of Corsica.
This Rother hiking guide has been the most comprehensive and reliable companion for hikers for many years. The present fifteenth edition has been meticulously updated.
