Tatra Mountains of Poland & Slovakia in the Sunflower Landscapes guide series; exploring the best walking & touring possibilities in the region or area. Detailed information about touring by hired car or public transport, as well as on foot, is provided, helping walkers to navigate & plan day-trips. Shorter strolls are also included as an alternative for each main route for those seeking more leisurely days out. The guide is structured in two main parts ...

Within the compact area covered by this guide (140km east-west, 65km north-south) are two outstanding national parks in southernmost Poland: Pieniny & Tatra, & the best of neighbouring Slovakia`s mountains in four national parks: Tatra, Slovensky Raj (Slovak Paradise), Low Tatra & Mala Fatra. There can be few places where walkers are better catered for: skilfully constructed paths make walking in very rough terrain comparatively easy; signposting & waymarking are almost universally excellent. Hillwalkers will be in their element here, but there are often shorter, easy suggestions for the less hardy or they can create their own walks from the detailed maps in the book (which show all waymarked routes). In addition, the car tours lead to dozens of short walks & picnic spots, so that even those with little walking experience can make the most of these wonderful mountains. In each of the six national parks you can look forward to sampling local drinks & dishes at one or more of the mountain inns. The guide describes 7 car tours (with accompanying touring maps) & 50 long & short walks (illustrated with 1:50, 000 topo maps) covering the Tatras in both countries. There are also 20 separate short walks/picnic suggestions for motorists. Plans are included for Zakopane, Kroscienko, Tatranska Lomnica, Stary Smokovec, Strbske Pleso. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher`s website, maintained daily. The ` Landscapes` series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed `the blue Bibles` by the Sunday Times & led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks. REVIEWS: The Sunflower series always delivers a useful pocket guide book. The car tours, the fold-out maps & the clear symbols all make these books handy to throw in the backpack. The route descriptions are easy to follow & ensure you don`t miss any highlights. These books are good value for your money -- (K, Amazon) Really pleased with the descriptions of the walks in the Polish Tatras. We used this in conjunction with a map we bought in Poland & the book helped us to decide which walks we wanted to attempt (good descriptions of what you are likely to see & good directions) whilst also giving us a good idea of how high & how exposed the trails were likely to be (this is good if like me, you have a bit of a fear of heights.) -- (O, Amazon) ...

Innovative hiking atlas of the Polish & Slovak Tatra Mountains presenting 20 recommended hiking excursions on colour-enhanced aerial photos to provide a more vivid & immediately accessible picture of the terrain than offered by conventional contoured maps. Each photo is overprinted with the routes, indicating their waymarking colours & hiking times in both directions, plus symbols showing various local facilities. Where useful, conventional maps are also included to provide an overview or an enhancement of a section of the route. Route descriptions are divided into small stages & give hiking times, changes in altitude, facilities, etc. Additional information

Includes::, as appropriate, several panorama views from various trails, diagrams of local caves, etc. The atlas has an extensive index listing both Polish & Slovak alternatives of place names. Map legend & all the text are in POLISH ONLY – great pity, because the combination of the text & the photographic map provides an excellent view of each recommended trail (and for the writer of this description brings back many childhood memories!).
