E-Book zur 9. komplett überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage 2017 Wenige Reiseziele bieten so viel Abwechslung wie die vielseitigen Landschaften zwischen den Hochalpen und dem Mittelmeer. Detailliert und unterhaltsam beschreibt Eberhard Fohrer den Weg vom ewigen Eis der Gletscher über das Wanderparadies Südtirol hinab in die riesige Schwemmlandebene des Po und weiter bis zu endlosen Meereslagunen und stillen Pinienwäldern an der Mittelmeerküste. Auf schmalen, verwinkelten Straßen geht es hinauf in die abgelegenen Höhen der Alpen, zu kristallklaren Bergseen und gigantischen Felstürmen der Dolomiten und an die großen Badeseen wie Lago di Garda oder Lago Maggiore. Dazu werden Ihnen natürlich die Kulturstädte Venedig, Verona, Ravenna, Bologna und Mailand, aber auch die kleinen, eher stillen Orte im Podelta vorgestellt. Den Rahmen bieten detaillierte Informationen zur grandiosen Natur sowie zu Kunst und Kultur Oberitaliens. Die Geschichten über Land und Leute sowie eine Fülle reisepraktischer Neuigkeiten - die günstigste Anreiseroute, die besten Unterkünfte, Restaurants und Tavernen - sind im Kompendium von Eberhard Fohrer vertreten.
