Wanderführer Rother Israël 41 Touren 1.A 2017

The first German-language walking guide for Israel

Israel - a small country with big contrasts! A young, Western-influenced state with Eastern charm and citizens from all corners of the world. A country popular with its many attractions for cultural holidaymakers and pilgrims. Israel's most diverse nature is best experienced on foot. The Rother walking guide »Israel« invites you with 41 tours to discover this unknown unknown country.

Biblical landscapes with Mediterranean olive groves and vineyards, the Dead Sea with salt-encrusted shores, ocher rocky deserts below sea level, sacred places, unknown cultures and religions - they leave unforgettable impressions on every hiker. Besides, walks offer extraordinary opportunities to meet Jewish and Arab residents, who also enjoy walking.

The walking guide covers all facets of Israel's landscape: the forested hills of the Galilee, the species-rich wetlands of the Jordan Valley and the Negev with the largest erosion craters on Earth. From summer walks through dunes and beautiful beaches by the sea to multi-day trips from canyon-like wadis (dry valleys) to challenging mountain climbing for all levels are offered. A unique curiosity: some tours extend to more than 300 meters below sea level!

Interesting information about historical backgrounds and Bible references make many walks a cultural-historical experience. All tour suggestions have precise directions, map sections with marked route and meaningful elevation profiles. GPS data can be downloaded. Author Winfried Borlinghaus knows everything about Israel - his tour suggestions are all in selected, safe areas.
