Wanderführer Rother Morocco 50 Touren 1.A 2018

Only a few nautical miles away from Europe and yet a completely different world: The "Magic of the East" begins in Morocco, the country where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. But the kingdom not only enchants with exotic scents, with towns and villages as if from a thousand and one nights, but also with spectacular nature and an unprecedented range of hiking opportunities between the coast and the high mountains. The new Rother Hiking Guide Morocco presents 50 varied hikes, from exciting half-day hikes to several days of activities in unspoilt landscapes.

Those looking for thrills in the high alpine terrain will find something to their liking, as will pleasure hikers for whom the cultural experience and the beauty of nature are of paramount importance. The Mediterranean Sea, the rugged Rif Mountains, the cedar forests and karst rock in the Middle Atlas, the High Atlas with its enormous but relatively easy to climb four thousand meter peaks, the Anti-Atlas with picturesque settlements of mud houses and, in the south of the country, the Sahara with dune landscapes and oases with palm trees, inspire visitors of all kinds. Finally, the cozy accommodation and Moroccan cuisine with couscous and peppermint tea ensure well-deserved relaxation in the evening.

The author Michael Wellhausen is as ambitious as an eventful mountain hiker. His African and Sahara experiences flow from the texts, which provide both precise travel descriptions and many interesting facts about the country and its people. Detailed information on transport connections, refreshments and accommodation, plus hiking maps with marked routes, meaningful elevation profiles and GPS data for download make the planning and execution of the hikes uncomplicated. The numerous photos create an "oriental" holiday atmosphere at home.
