Short Treks in Corsica - Cicerone Press

Productomschrijving: Met spectaculaire berglandschappen, prachtige ruige kusten, bossen, en opvallende rivierkloven, is Corsica een paradijs voor wandelaars. Deze gids beschrijft 5 van de populairste kortere tochten van het eiland: de 2-daagse Sentier du Douanier langs de kust (Customs Officer's Path) rond Cap Corse, 2 routes van kust tot kust door de centrale bergen, de 11-daagse Mare a Mare Nord en de 5-daagse Mare a Mare Sud en twee 'kust en bergen'-routes, de 10-daagse Mare e Monti en de 5-daagse Mare e Monti Sud.

(Corsica's beroemde 190 km lange GR20-route wordt beschreven in een aparte Cicerone-gids.) De routes kunnen worden gekoppeld om langere excursies te creëren en accommodatie wordt geboden door een mix van herbergen, B & B's en hotels voor wandelaars; kamperen is ook een optie.

Engelse omschrijving: With spectacular mountain landscapes, beautiful rugged coast, forests, maquis and striking river gorges, Corsica is a walker's paradise. This guidebook details five of the islands's most popular shorter treks: the 2-day coastal Sentier du Douanier (Customs Officer's Path) around Cap Corse; two coast-to-coast routes through the central mountains, the 11-day Mare a Mare Nord and the 5-day Mare a Mare Sud; and two 'coast and mountains' routes, the 10-day Mare e Monti and the 5-day Mare e Monti Sud.

(Corsica's famous 190km GR20 trail is described in a separate Cicerone guide.) The routes can be linked to create longer excursions and accommodation is provided by a mixture of walkers' hostels, B&Bs and hotels; camping is also an option.

The guide presents each of the waymarked trails in daily stages averaging around 12-13km per day, with route description, mapping and notes on accommodation options. There is advice on how to get to Corsica, when to go and what to take, plus accommodation listings, useful contacts and a French/Corsican-English glossary. The guide also offers a wealth of information about the island's rich plant and wildlife.

Considerably easier than the challenging GR20, these trails offer a more accessible option for trekkers wishing to experience the 'real' Corsica, away from the bustling coastal resorts. You'll find enchanting scenery - towering forests, gushing cascades, turquoise coves, aromatic maquis, rugged mountains and quiet villages nestling on hillsides of chestnut woods - not to mention a favourable climate and delicious local cuisine. Don't be surprised if you fall under the island's spell!
