Rother Wanderbuch Lanzarote 35 Touren (5.A 2018)

Lanzarote, the "Island of Fire", is certainly the most individual Canary Island. About 300 volcanoes and vast lava fields left behind a glowing lunar landscape that couldn't be more bizarre. The volcanic heritage has a very special charm for nature lovers and hikers, and there are more than enough hiking destinations. The Roth hiking guide "Lanzarote" presents the most beautiful coastal and volcano walks. Guided tours through pitch-black lava fields, crater climbs and spectacular wanderings on the crater rims allow you to get up close to the volcanic events. Salt gardens can be discovered on paths along the ragged basalt coast, some of which are still used for salt extraction today. You can enjoy swimming at secluded pebble bays and beaches. The routes in the Famara massif, which descends steeply to the west coast, are rich in views and some panoramic peaks offer a bird's eye view of the island. As a side trip, a visit to the sister island of La Graciosa is recommended. This island off the northwest coast of Lanzarote is almost car-free and offers optimal conditions for hikers.
