Walking in the Caucasus - Georgia [Paperback]

Peter Nasmyth (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1845112067 | ISBN-13: 978-1845112066 | Publication Date: May 16, 2006

Remarkably Georgia, no larger than Switzerland, ranks in the world's top twelve for geographical diversity. It contains the heart of the Caucasus mountains--larger and more dramatic than the Alps--subtropical wetlands, a Black Sea coast, semi-desert, all peppered with ancient stone towers and an exceptional history. Peter Nasmyth has now provided the first comprehensive walker's guide to Europe's most diverse landscape, including birds, flora and fauna. The book contains clear directions, excellent maps, GPS references, local history, contacts and a superb selection of color photographs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the purpose, i.e. for walking, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Walking in the Caucasus - Georgia (Paperback)

This book tells you exactly what it says in the title. It is purely a walking guide, actually quite a good one. Includes maps and good descriptions of the routes and indicates in which seasons each route is available for walking.

Unfortunately, this book is not a general tourist guide at all.

This review is from: Walking in the Caucasus - Georgia (Paperback)

I must say I am disappointed. I was looking for a book to start planning a trek in the Caucasus and stumbled upon this book. It is basically a bunch of daily walks that don't add up for a multi-day hiking experience.

If you are looking for a book to add a day walk here and there this might be just what you were looking for.
