The Morrow Guide to Backcountry Europe
Gerald W. Olmsted
Published by Quill, NY, 1982
THE MORROW GUIDE TO BACKCOUNTRY EUROPE
for
hikers and walkers steamer fans
rail buffs and other adventurers
“The differences between New York and Frankfurt,” writes Gerald W. Olmsted, “are beginning to disappear ” Athens has smog and traffic jams, and in Florence you can’t see the Baptistery for the tourists. So, to find the real Europe not mentioned in tourist brochures, Olmsted takes you to these and other little-known spots most tourists miss:
Aggstein, Austria, home of “Cruel Jorg’s Castle”
Sark, a twentieth-century feudal fiefdom in the Channel Islands
Viseu, the rural showpiece of Portugal
Todi, Italy, an unspoiled hill town in Umbria
Joensuu, a traditional Finnish market town
Richmond, the gateway to Scotland’s Dales
Savonlinna, Finland, the crown jewel of the Saimaa lake district
Barra, in the Outer Hebrides—toylike and isolated
Geiterygghytta, Norway, along a famous hiker’s trail, the “British Route”
Guarda, in Switzerland, known for its delicate sgraffiti designs
Naxos, steeped in the legendary lore of ancient Greece
Ohan, a fine place to sample true Scottish cooking
Part of the fun is to avoid first class and to go by public transportation:
ox carts side-wheelers
ferries mail trains
coastal packets caiques
hydrofoils funiculars
cog railways teleferics
Details on all practical matters from reading and interpreting European train timetables to finding a room without a reservation to taking it easy because, as the Chinese say, “You can’t see a flower from a galloping horse.”
Trade paperback. 1st. All the information you need to find the Europe most tourists miss; discover little-known beauty spots, make getting there half the fun, meet Europeans one-on-one. Excellent copy. 6 x 9-1/4, 336 pp, index, b/w drawings, maps.
