Cicerone Press The Mountains of Romania: Trekking and walking in
Book SynopsisThis guide describes 27 short treks of 2-6 days and 10 day walks in the mountains of Romania. Although there is a slight focus on Transylvania, most of the main massifs are included, with chapters covering the Mountains of Maramures, the Eastern Carpathians, the mountains around Brasov, the Fagara?, the region between the Olt and the Jiu, the Retezat, the mountains of Banat and the Apuseni. Also included is an ascent of Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak at 2544m.There is a wealth of advice to help you plan your trip and organise the logistics of your walk or trek. Some routes avail of the network of mountain huts; others offer opportunities to camp in attractive wild locations. Overviews and a route summary table make it easy to choose an appropriate excursion. Each route includes clear description and mapping, as well as notes on accommodation and access (some can be accessed by public transport, although others require either pre-arranged pick-up or hitchhiking). There are fascinating insights into Romania's colourful culture and history and appendices containing hut listings, useful contacts and a helpful glossary.The graded routes are as varied as Romania's diverse landscapes. They take in rolling hills, craggy karst peaks, glacial lakes and Europe's last virgin forests, with other highlights including Transylvanian castles, wooden churches, the Piatra Craiului ridge and the spectacular Sapte Scari (Seven Ladders) and Turda Gorges. Historic towns such as the medieval towns of Brasov and Sibiu and the spa resort of Vatra Dornei offer easy access to the mountains; other routes visit remote villages that have changed little over the centuries, where self-sufficiency is still very much the way of life. All in all, the guide is a perfect companion to discovering the unspoilt beauty of Romania's enchanting mountain regions.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Author preface Introduction Geography Vegetation and wildlife History Language Culture Climate When to go What to take Getting there Local transport Accommodation Food and drink Health and safety Money Staying in touch National parks Rules and regulations Maps Waymarking Water, food and other supplies Using this guide The Mountains of Maramureş The Rodna Mountains Route 1 Șetref Pass to Rotunda Pass The Gut#xe2;i and Ţibleş Mountains Route 2 Breb-Creasta Cocoşului-Neteda Pass Route 3 Groşii Ţibleşului to Arcer, Ţibleş and Bran Peaks The Munţii Maramureşului Route 4 Repedea to Prislop Pass The Eastern Carpathians The Land of Dorna Route 5 The Suhard Route 6 The Rarău-Giumalău Route 7 The Călimani The Ceahlău Route 8 Izvorul Muntelui to Durau The Hăşmaş Massif and Lacu Roşu Route 9 Bălan to Lacu Roşu The mountains around Braşov The Postăvaru Massif Route 10 Braşov to R#xe2;snov The Piatra Mare Massif Route 11 D#xe2;mbu Morii-Piatra Mare Peak via Șapte Scări Gorge Route 12 Timişu de Sus-Cabana Piatra Mare via Tamina Gorge The Baiului and Grohotiş Route 13 A north-south traverse of the Baiului Route 14 Across the Baiului and Grohotiş The Ciucaş Massif Route 15 Cheia to Bratocea Pass The Bucegi Mountains Route 16 Poiana Braşov to Omu Peak Route 17 Into the Bucegi from the Prahova Valley The Piatra Craiului Mountains Route 18 The Northern Ridge Route 19 The Southern Ridge The Făgăraş Mountains The Iezer-Păpuşa Massif Route 20 The Iezer-Păpuşa Circuit Route 21 From the Iezer-Păpuşa to the Făgăraş The Făgăraş Chain Route 22 Traversing the Făgăraş from east to west From the Olt to the Jiu The Cindrel and the Par#xe2;ng Route 23 From Păltiniş to Stațiunea Par#xe2;ng The Cozia Route 24 The Cozia Circuit The Buila-V#xe2;nturariţa Route 25 Cheia Village-Buila-V#xe2;nturariţa ridge-Băile Olăneşti The Retezat Mountains The Retezat Route 26 C#xe2;rnic to Cabana Gura Zlata via Bucura Lake Route 27 Poiana Pelegii to C#xe2;rnic via Bucura Lake The V#xe2;lcan Massif Route 28 From the V#xe2;lcan to the Retezat The Ţarcu, Godeanu and Retezatul Mic Route 29 Jigora Saddle to Cabana Buta The Mountains of Banat The Domogled-Valea Cernei national park Route 30 Băile Herculane to Domogled Peak and back Route 31 Băile Herculane to St#xe2;nca lui Sisi and back The Semenic Route 32 The gorges of the Semenic The Apuseni Mountains The Trascău and Muntele Mare Route 33 The Gorges of the Trascău Route 34 Poşaga de Jos-Scăriţa Belioara-Runc Route 35 Runc-Scăriţa Belioara-Lunca Largă-Runc The Padiş Region Route 36 Statiunea V#xe2;rtop-Cetăţile Ponorului-Padiş-Pietroasa Route 37 G#xe2;rda de Sus-Scărişoara ice cave-Padiş-Cabana Varasoaia-St#xe2;na de Vale Appendix A Route summary table Appendix B Accommodation Appendix C Useful contacts Appendix D Language notes and glossary

Cicerone Press Trekking the Cathar Way: The GR367 Sentier
Book SynopsisTwo of the southernmost départements of France, the Pyrénées-Orientales and Ariège are inextricably linked with the history of the Cathars, a heretical Christian sect who were subjected to a crusade in the thirteenth century. Striking castles built on jagged rocky precipices are a highlight of the region and a reminder of those turbulent times. This guidebook describes the 260km Cathar Way (Sentier Cathare or GR367), a long-distance trail from Port-la-Nouvelle on the Mediterranean coast to Ariége's departmental capital Foix linking several of the impressive Cathar castles. The route follows ancient footpaths, jeep tracks and country lanes and calls for a moderate level of fitness as it sweeps from sea level to 1300m across the rugged hill ranges of the Corbières and Fenouillèdes. The guide describes the main route in 13 stages and also includes the slightly more direct north variant, as well as suggestions for shorter itineraries. Summary statistics introduce each day's walking and are followed by step-by-step route description illustrated with clear mapping. There are also details of facilities available en route and accommodation listings. An introduction covers all the practicalities, with comprehensive advice for planning your trip - including when to go, how to get there and what to take - in addition to a wealth of information about the region's fascinating history and the intriguing Cathars themselves. The trail traverses rocky hills and meanders through woodland, vineyards, ancient villages, gorges and plateaus. As well as the rich Cathar heritage, there are also historic wine-producing towns, sites associated with the French Resistance of WWII and mysterious places steeped in ancient legend. The guide is a perfect companion to discovering the Cathar Way and the captivating stories of this distinctive region.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Introduction Languedoc history The Cathars and the Crusade The Cathar Way route Features of interest Planning the walk North variant Alternative ways to stage the Cathar Way Getting there Getting around When to go Accommodation Food and drink Language Money matters Phone and Wi-Fi Health and safety What to take Maps Waymarking Updates Using this guide The Cathar Way Port-la-Nouvelle to Puivert Stage 1 Port-la-Nouvelle to Durban-Corbi#xe8;res Stage 2 Durban-Corbi#xe8;res to Tuchan Stage 3 Tuchan to Cucugnan Stage 4 Cucugnan to Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet Stage 5 Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet to Caudi#xe8;s-de-Fenouill#xe8;des Stage 6 Caudi#xe8;s-de-Fenouill#xe8;des to Axat Stage 7 Axat to Quirbajou Stage 8 Quirbajou to Puivert Cucugnan to Puivert: north variant Stage 4a Cucugnan to Camps-sur-l'Agly Stage 5a Camps-sur-l'Agly to Bugarach Stage 6a Bugarach to Quillan Stage 7a Quillan to Puivert Puivert to Foix Stage 9 Puivert to Espezel Stage 10 Espezel to Comus Stage 11 Comus to Monts#xe9;gur Stage 12 Monts#xe9;gur to Roquefixade Stage 13 Roquefixade to Foix Appendix A Villages and towns with amenities Appendix B Accommodation Appendix C Useful contacts Appendix D French-English glossary Appendix E Further information and reading

Zondervan You Are My Sunshine
Book SynopsisA laugh-out-loud funny true story of a loving relationship, a grand adventure, and a promise kept. It was only a few years after the starry-eyed young couple got married when scary news threatened to take the wind out of their sails. But Sean Dietrich''s wife, Jamie, wouldn''t let it. She dared to hope for and plan for a great big adventure, and she made him promise to do it with her. For love and the promise of biscuits along the way, Sean--who was never an athlete of any kind--undertook the bike ride of a lifetime and lived to talk about it. In this true-life tale, master storyteller Sean Dietrich--also known as the beloved columnist and creator of the blog and podcast Sean of the South--shares their hilarious, touching, and sometimes terrifying story of the long bike ride to conquer The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath trail. As you laugh out loud through every hard-won mile and lose yourself in his signature poignancy, yoTrade ReviewA perfect collision of southern wit and tissue-reaching truths.

If I weren't so much better looking than Sean Dietrich, I'd be jealous of how well he writes. Christopher Thomas, founder, MADE SOUTHSean Dietrich's sentences are the crack cocaine of literary humor. You Are My Sunshine is delivered with a style that would make Mark Twain jealous. Trust me: if you liked Lewis Grizzard, you will love Sean Dietrich! Andy Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift, founder of WisdomHarbour.comThere's a new book, thank goodness, from Sean Dietrich, with the Sean magic on it.

Dave Ramsey, eight-time national bestselling author and personal finance expertThis book is more than a travel guide for the C and O trail.
