Mountain hiking, mountaineering - Alpine teaching manual

<p>The vastness and unspoiled nature, the tranquillity of the landscape and the Nordic beauty of the countryside make Sweden an ideal destination for vacationers seeking relaxation and nature lovers. Sweden inspires with its huge forests, clear lakes, red wooden houses, moose and reindeer. The Rother hiking guide "Sweden South" opens up the diverse landscapes of this region with 60 predominantly easy and moderately difficult routes - from Sk&aring;ne and Sm&aring;land to Stockholm and Dalarna.<br><br>The hikes in this volume range from walks to castles and prehistoric finds to lengthy routes through forests and fell landscapes. Many of the hikes are easy and family-friendly. However, the selection also includes challenging routes in remote areas. Some hikes lead through lovely Sm&aring;land, the home of Astrid Lindgren. The area around the capital Stockholm also offers interesting hiking opportunities - including in Ekopark, the world's first national city park, and in the archipelago. This is an excellent way to combine cultural interests with sport-oriented ambitions and an experience of nature.<br><br>Each walk has a reliable route description, a detailed map section with route entry and an informative altitude profile. There is also helpful information on how to get there, accommodation options, places of interest and much more. GPS data is also available for download.<br><br>For the author Peter Mertz, Sweden is like a second home. He has put together the most beautiful routes in the south of Sweden for this Rother hiking guide.</p>
