Norway South

Series details

£9.99

Presenting 50 hikes, the Rother walking guide to Norway opens up Southern Norway between Oslo, Bergen and Lindesnes: the routes range from the highest peaks in Northern Europe, in Jotunheimen National Park, to the picturesque forests and lakes of Telemark and the high heathland areas over the waterfall-rich Setesdal valley; from the cliff scenery in Rogaland and on the glacier-covered Folgefonn peninsula, to the oases of Rondane National Park.

With a selection of hikes for every physical condition, Bernhard Pollmann, one of the finest experts on Norway as a hiking paradise, describes "easy" and "difficult" routes - family-friendly hikes are included, as are climbs up deserted peaks, challenging day-long hikes, and tours covering several days from cabin to cabin.

Each route description is accompanied by colour photography, and a map at 1:50,000 or 1:100,000 scale.

About this series:

Rother Walking Guides were first published in 1920- since then Bergverlag Rother have continued to produce these comprehensive guides to “the finest valley and mountain walks”.

Each book has a detailed description of walks, small walking maps and many tips on combining the walks, places of interest, accommodation and public transport; the guides are all in full colour with varying scales and types of cartography - the walks themselves vary from day-long hikes to mountain and valley walks, with varying levels of ease and difficulty indicated.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, comprehensive enough to take you everywhere; the books are printed in paperback but with a polytex-laminated cover, making them extremely durable too.
