De Wat & Hoe Taal- en Reisgidsen zijn al tientallen jaren onontbeerlijk voor de volwassen vakantieganger. En nu hoeven ook de kinderen niet meer zonder! In het eerste deel van Wat & Hoe Kids: Jippie naar Frankrijk! gaat Jippie met zijn vriendje en vriendinnetje op reis naar Frankrijk en maakt daar allemaal spannende avonturen mee. Ook vertelt Jippie in het boek wat er in Frankrijk allemaal te zien is, wat voor gewoontes de mensen hebben en welke plekken er cool zijn voor kinderen. Maar het allerleukste is dat Jippie uitlegt hoe kinderen zelf iets in het Frans kunnen zeggen. Hoe je voorstelt om samen te gaan spelen of om een ijsje te vragen, bijvoorbeeld!

Wat & Hoe Kids: Jippie naar Frankrijk! is de eerste uitgave in de nieuwe lijn voor kinderen. De boeken zijn bedoeld voor kinderen van 8 tot 12 jaar en samengesteld door leerkrachten die goed bekend zijn met die doelgroep. Iedere gids staat vol spelletjes, raadsels, (taal)grapjes en op de leeftijd afgestemde vertaalzinnen. Zo gaan kinderen met nóg meer plezier op vakantie.

Brassy, bold and beautiful in its austerity, Berlin is a sexy temptress that will ensnare you with her infinite riches; she's a creative genius that will amaze you with ideas and trends uniquely her own; she's a hotbed of hedonism, feasting passionately on the bountiful buffet of life; and, above all, she's a clever chameleon, endlessly adaptable and thriving on change, almost persuing it like a drug. Berlin is all that and then some to the people who live here and those ready to make the journey to the depths of her past, present and future.

Grote delen van het Drentse landschap behoren tot de oudste en meest karakteristieke cultuurlandschappen van West-Europa. Door de eeuwenlange wisselwerking tussen boer en bodem, tussen mens en natuur ontstond in Drente een landschap dat zowel in cultureel als in ecologische opzicht als zweer waardevol kan worden betiteld. Tegelijkertijd behoort het Drentse landschap tot de meest moderne van Nederland. De ontginningen van veen - en heidecomplexen, bosaanplant, het reguleren van beken, de extreme bevolkingstoename en de daaruit voortvloeiende verstedelijking van delen van het Drentse platteland, maken het Drentse land tot een zeer modern land

"There can be few people better qualified to write a travel guide on Botswana than Chris McIntyre...Like all good guide books, this is packed with all kinds of practical and wide-ranging advice - from driving near elephants to maps with GPS references and how to shake hands Botswana style....What's more, even the nuts-and-bolts sections are well-written and make enjoyable reading. In particular, the region-by-region chapters on the country's reserves, camps and lodges had me longing to jump on the first plane to Maun. Each area is painstakingly described - clearly the result of meticulous first-hand research...If you can take only one book to Botswana, make sure it's this one."

Of u nu de bestemming Andalusië met zijn karakteristieke witte dorpjes, het groene Galicië of de langgerekte stranden van de Costa del Sol bezoekt, overal kunt u genieten van het moois dat dit land u te bieden heeft. Het kan echter wel een lastige opgave zijn om een rustige, intieme camping te vinden in dit populaire vakantieland. Geen camping is gelijk aan de andere. U zult prachtige natuurcampings aantreffen, eenvoudige en verrassend luxe campings. Wat de 100 geselecteerde campings gemeenschappelijk hebben is het predikaat 'rustiek'. Ver weg dus van de drukte, de massaliteit en de onpersoonlijkheid.

Kampeerders zijn in de Alpen aan het juiste adres. Tussen de imposante toppen en de weelderige dalen gaat een bergwereld schuil die al sinds jaren steeds meer kampeerders aantrekt. Geen wonder, want de Alpen hebben het een en ander te bieden. Het hoog-alpiene massief in Frankrijk, het veelzijdige Zwitserland, de traditionele vakantieplaatsen in Beieren en Oostenrijk, maar ook de opwindende Italiaanse zijde van de Alpen vormen stuk voor stuk uitstekende redenen voor een verblijf in Europa’s beroemdste bergen.

Rustiek kamperen in Italië, kan dat? Ja! Italia staat misschien meer bekend als het land van de grote, drukke kampeerterreinen, met eindeloze rijen dicht opeengeplaatste stacaravans waartussen je amper ruimte vindt om een tentje op te zetten. Onterecht, want er zijn wel degelijk rustieke campings te vinden. Kosmos-Z&K Uitgevers heeft een selectie gemaakt van de meest bijzondere campings.

After the chaos and destruction of World War II and the conservative musical environment Italian leaders promoted, the Italian public was ready for a more relaxed sound. Jazz, swing and boogie-woogie were achieving worldwide popularity and, in Italy, merged with the Italian crooner tradition. The musical rebirth of the 1950s and ’60s was like a second liberation. What’s old is new and Putumayo’s June 21, 2005 release Italian Café captures the music and attitude from that era and from current singers whose musical DNA follows that lineage. The CD follows Putumayo’s successful French Café collection.

Many of the artists on Italian Café packed the nightclubs of the era and gained popularity through Italy’s newly inaugurated TV channels and burgeoning film industry. The image of the lovable hoodlum came to life in Fred Buscaglione. While most foreign music was banned under the Italian fascist regime, Buscaglione wound up in a U.S. internment camp, where he was able to get a jumpstart in trying out the styles emerging from America. True to his fast-living ways, he died at 40, crashing his pink Thunderbird into an oncoming truck early one morning in 1960.

Quartetto Cetra emerged in the late ’40s, when they provided the overdubs for the Italian versions of the movies "Dumbo" and "Wizard of Oz." The following decade found Renato Carosone blending Neapolitan folk music with American jazz and boogie-woogie to create a signature style that made him a household name in Italy and a chart-topping crooner in the U.S.

Nicola Arigliano, now in his 80s, is the only 1950s-era artist on Italian Café performing to this day. Born in 1923 in a small village in southern Italy, Arigliano ran away from home when he was just 11 years old to play music in the nightclubs of Milan. After experiencing great commercial success, Arigliano disappeared from the concert stage for 30 years. In the past decade, he has re-emerged with four new albums and a critic’s award at the glitzy San Remo Festival.

Two songs on the CD come from Giorgio Conte, who is not as well known as his brother, Paolo. As both songs demonstrate, however, the older brother has a jovial spirit that shines through in his lyrics. “Gnè Gnè” pokes fun at a very famous movie star lover of his who never says anything of meaning, only petty gossip and “gnè gnè.” “Cannelloni” teases another lover who is always on a diet and never can enjoy the pleasures of pasta.

Gianmaria Testa is more famous abroad than he is at home in Italy, where he works as a tran station manager. Testa performed his subtle and introspective songs for a local following near his native village of Cueno, not far from the French border, until a French producer helped him produce a critically acclaimed album in 1995. You can hear his trademark gruff, whispering voice on two songs on Italian Café; one about the superficiality of fame and one which compares the flight of hot-air balloons to human relationships.

The CD is rounded out by modern artists who are not retro in sound, but who cannot deny some heritage from their predecessors. Vinicio Capossela is like a Tom Waits of Italy, reminiscent of some unnamable era and with no hesitation in throwing in the sounds of toy pianos and chain saws. Newcomer Maria Pierantonia Giua makes her CD debut on this album. Meanwhile, Daniele Silvestri’s “Le Cose in Comune” (The Things We Have in Common) won Italy’s equivalent of the Grammy, as best song of the year. Over a jazzy bossa beat that echoes popular Italian music of days gone by, Silvestri sings of all of the 4,280 things he and his lover have in common.

Austrian band Quadro Nuevo perfected their instrumental versions of popular Italian songs of the ’50s and ’60s by performing on the streets of cities across Italy. The instrumental they present here—Renato Carosone’s classic song “Tu Vuo’ Fa’ L’americano” (You Want to Play the American)—was one of Italy’s first world wide hits.

Kamperen in een mooie omgeving en ongedwongen sfeer blijft voor veel mensen de ultieme vakantie. De auteurs van de serie Rustiek Kamperen zijn fervente kampeerders met een kritische blik, die de leuke plekjes weten te vinden.

Voor de bestaande titel Rustiek kamperen Scandinavië is de auteur Ger Meesters op zoek gegaan naar nieuwe, rustige en bijzondere campings in Scandinavië. Hij heeft Finland eraan toegevoegd als kampeerbestemming. Een actuele, goede gids, die gezien de uitgestrektheid van Scandinavië - je wilt niet een stuk rijden voor niets - onontbeerlijk is.

De aansluiting van Kroatie, Slovenie, Hongarije, Tsjechie, Polen, Litouwen, Letland en Estland bij de Europese Unie was een goed moment om een nieuwe gids met overzichten van campings aldaar te lanceren. Bij ieder land wordt eerst een mini-inleiding gegeven met algemene informatie, daarna volgen een kaartje en beschrijvingen van ongeveer 185 campings. In een kleine letter wordt tekstuele informatie gegeven over de camping en in een nog kleinere letter komen zaken als faciliteiten, openingstijden, de Alan Rogers' beoordeling, de te volgen route, de tarieven en hoe te reserveren aan de orde. Het is zaak om de tekst zeer goed te lezen, want die is nogal verhullend. Zo staat er vaak wel hoeveel toeristische plaatsen er zijn, maar veelal niet hoeveel vaste plekken.

Achterin extra informatie over openingstijden, vislocaties, toelating voor honden, fietsverhuur, boothellingen etc. Met kaarten in kleur en register op plaats, land en campingnummer.

Make contact with this culture's ancient tradition of hospitality; connect to Morocco's vibrant heritage. There are 91 stunning places in this 3rd edition, from luxurious kasbahs on mountain tops to coastal riads, personable city guest houses wrapped in mosaics and remote desert inns. We take pleasure in finding places that are unusual and follow no trends, and have inspected - and enjoyed - every one.
From shoestring to sumptuous: with rooms from €60-€400 there is somewhere for all budgets and in our new smaller format, this friendly little guide provides the insider knowledge of a local.

This year’s guide includes one new three-star restaurant (Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester) and one new two-star (The Ledbury), both in London. Included in the list of 18 new one-stars is Sienna, a small, family run restaurant in Dorset and The Harwood Arms, the first pub in London to achieve this accolade. Bray-on-Thames has yet another star – The Royal Oak. Away from England there are also three new stars in Scotland and three in Wales.

Commenting on the 2012 guide, Editor Derek Bulmer said: “Last year was clearly a difficult year for hotels and restaurants but those establishments who reacted by being more flexible and creative appear to be riding the storm.

Value for money has also been an important factor and we have awarded 28 new Bib Gourmand awards – ‘good food at moderate prices’ – which reflects this.

Chefs have had to be more resourceful and restaurants have had to adapt to changing eating habits. Some have even introduced ‘credit crunch’ menus to help fight the recession. Long-established restaurants have proved to be resilient but we have also seen plenty of new openings.

There is now a greater geographical spread of starred restaurants and the inspectors will continue to seek out establishments serving particularly good food, wherever they are situated.

As we head into this new decade, the hotel and restaurant industry appears to be leaner and fitter. Greater emphasis is being placed on satisfying customers’ needs; diversity continues to be one of the UK’s greater strengths and the public’s interest in chefs, food and cooking shows no sign of abating.”

The format of the MICHELIN guide means it offers its readers an unrivalled selection of hotels and restaurants to suit all pockets. The 2010 guide recommends more than 1,900 hotels and guesthouses and 2,000 restaurants and pubs. All are regularly and anonymously inspected by Michelin’s own team of professional, full-time inspectors and inclusion in the guide is free of charge.

The Pyrenean Haute Route is probably the most beautiful, spectacular and challenging walk in the Pyrenees, and has become one of the classic walks in Europe. Unlike the GR10 and GR11 the Haute Route crosses the French–Spanish border many times, exploring both sides of the mountain range and staying as close as possible to the main ridge of the Pyrenees. As a result the Haute Route leads the trekker through landscapes of immense variety and impeccable beauty.

The second edition of this guide is fully updated, with three minor changes to the route, which is described in five sections: through the Basque territory (9 days); highlights of the Parc National (7 days); Gavarnie to Salardu (9 days); Salardu to l’Hospitalet-près-l’Andorre (10 days); and through the Eastern Pyrenees (10 days).

• 800km of spectacular and challenging trekking through the highest and best of the Pyrenees
• the unwaymarked route described in 45 day stages, now with 500 GPS waymarks to help with route-finding
• practical information on villages, mountain huts, guesthouses, hotels and campsites
• variant routes to avoid the trickier sections and ascents of ten classic Pyrenean summits for days off!

Dan worden de vijftien tochten beschreven. Per tocht een kaart, routebeschrijving, zwaarte, tijdsduur, flora, beste tijd van het jaar om de tocht te maken, praktische en toeristische informatie etc. Met register, kleurenfoto's en een begrippenlijst

Den sibirischen Baikalsee verbinden viele mit dem Traum einer unendlicher Weite und unberührter Natur. Manche denken vielleicht auch an den Alptraum des russischen Kulturschocks in seiner sibirischen Extremvariante. Der Baikalsee ist das größte Süßwasserreservoir der Erde und hat sich in den letzten Jahren vom Geheimtip für abenteuerlustige Reisende zu einem durchaus erreichbaren Ziel für Wanderer und Naturfreunde entwickelt. Alle, die sich von den immer noch gängigen Sibirienklischees nicht abschrecken lassen wollen, können sich nun im aktuell in 2. Auflage erschienenen Reiseführer aus dem Berliner Trescher Verlag umfassend über ›die blaue Perle Sibiriens‹ und die angrenzenden Regionen informieren.
Der Baikalsee wird von zwei russischen Regionen eingeschlossen: von Burjatien mit seiner Hauptsadt Ulan-Ude sowie dem Irkutsker Gebiet. Der Reiseführer macht ausführlich mit der faszinierenden Landschaft beider Gebiete sowie ihrer Flora und Fauna bekannt. Auch die Kulturgeschichte der Region mit ihrer burjatischen Urbevölkerung kommt nicht zu kurz. Die Transsibirische Eisenbahn, mit deren Bau die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Sibiriens eng verbunden ist, wird ausführlich gewürdigt, detaillierte Informationen zu den einzelnen Orten und Landschaften rund um den Baikalsee helfen bei der Reiseplanung. Mit Irkutsk, Bratsk und Ulan-Ude werden drei interessante Großstädte und mögliche Zwischenziele einer Reise vorgestellt. Eigene Kapitel sind Ausflügen entlang der Baikalbahn, ins Barguzin-Tal, zu burjatischen Klöstern und ins Sajan-Gebirge gewidmet.

Rund um den Baikalsee hat sich in den letzten Jahren eine gute touristische Infrastruktur entwickelt, und zahlreiche Reiseveranstalter bieten entsprechende Reisen an. Dieser Reiseführer stellt die Reisemöglichkeiten vor und bietet zudem Tips für Aktivurlaub im Sommer und Winter. Es enthält zahlreiche kyrillisch und lateinisch beschriftete Stadtpläne und Übersichtskarten sowie Informationen über Verkehrsmittel, Hotels, Restaurants, Museen und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Ein russischer Sprachführer, Literaturvorschläge und Hinweise auf interessante Internetseiten machen diesen Reiseführer zu einem nützlichen Begleiter.

»Wer sich gründlich über den Baikalsee informieren will, kann auf diesen Band zurückgreifen; er enthält alles, was der Tourist braucht und wissen sollte. Doch nicht nur rein touristisch, sondern auch landeskundlich Interessierte kommen auf ihre Kosten. Das Buch ist ein guter Begleiter durch eine touristisch wenig erschlossene Region« taz

This new series combines the best features of ‘Landscapes‘ with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide, but they are all pocket size (the page size is just 15mm wider than ‘Landscapes‘ books) and in full colour.

This is not an island on which you can rely on public transport - you need a car to get around. Hiring a car is the best way of exploring the island (and reaching the walks described in the book). At any time of year you can hire a car locally when you arrive. But to save money, hire through your travel agent when booking your holiday or book in advance on the internet — even the day before you travel. If you would like to explore the island’s back roads or cover some of the walking routes by car, the author advises hiring a four-wheel drive vehicle. (But 4WD vehicles are not necessary for reaching the starting points of the walks).

Om deze vragen te kunnen beantwoorden staan alle belangrijke objecten met een symbool op de kaarten. De uitvoerige legenda legt uit wat die symbolen allemaal betekenen. Zo wordt het mogelijk om waterwegen, voetpaden en tankstations in de kaart eenvoudig te herkennen.

Auf Ihrer Anfahrt von Bremen kommen Sie entlang der Weser nach Verden. Dort, an der Mündung der Aller, beginnt der Radweg der Ihnen die größtenteils naturbelassene Flusslandschaft der Aller erschließen wird. Erholen Sie sich auf der abwechslungsreichen Fahrt entlang der Naturparks Drömling und Südheide in Niedersachsen, bis nach Sachsen Anhalt in die Magdeburger Börde. Die Route lädt zu Besuchen historischer Städte wie Verden, oder das über 700 Jahre alte Celle mit seinen zahlreichen Fachwerkhäusern ein. Die moderne Welt erfahren Sie bei einem Erlebnisbesuch der Autostadt Wolfsburg. An den Allerquellen in Seehausen vorbei, radeln Sie schließlich bis in die Elbmetropole Magdeburg.

Streckencharakteristik

Länge

Die Länge des Aller-Radwegs von Verden, an der Wesermündung, zur Quelle in Eggenstedt, in Sachsen Anhalt beträgt etwas über 240 Kilometer. Die gesamte Länge der beschriebenen Strecke in diesem Buch, mit der Anfahrtsvariante von Bremen nach Verden (Aller) und der Abreisevariante von der Quelle in Eggenstedt nach Magdeburg an der Elbe, beträgt knapp 330 Kilometer. Die Alternativroute über den Aller-Elbe-Radweg nach Magdeburg ist fast 130 Kilometer lang. Sie finden außerdem fast 30 Kilometer sonstige Ausflüge und Alternativen in diesem Buch.

Wegequalität & Verkehr

Der Aller-Radweg ist in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich weiter ausgebaut worden. Die Wegequalität ist allerdings je nach Region und Bundesland immer noch unterschiedlich. In Niedersachsen folgen Sie erst dem gut ausgebauten Weser-Radweg und radeln dann parallel zum Lüneburger-Heide-Radweg auf einer ebenfalls gut ausgebauten Trasse nach Gifhorn. Selten müssen Sie auf befahrenen Straßen oder über schlechte Wegeoberflächen radeln. In Sachsen-Anhalt werden Ihnen öfter schlechtere Wegstücke beziehungsweise kleine Teilstücke auf befahrenen Straßen begegnen. An der Wegequalität wird aber weiterhin mit Hochdruck gearbeitet. Es kann vorkommen, dass der Aller-Radweg wegen Hochwasser nicht befahrbar ist. In diesem Fall können Sie die in den Karten eingezeichneten, aber nicht beschriebenen, orangefarbenen Hochwasseralternativen nutzen. Da der Aller-Radweg erstmals von der Region des Aller-Leine-Tals initiiert wurde, beschreiben wir den Weg von dieser Region zur Elbe, entgegen der Fließrichtung des Flusses. Auf die zu überwindenden Höhenmeter hat diese Wegrichtung fast keinen Einfluss. Bis nach Gifhorn fahren Sie südlich der dort eher flachen Lüneburger Heide. Ab Gifhorn wird es etwas hügeliger, die Steigungen und Gefällestrecken gleichen sich aber auf dem Weg am Drömling vorbei, durch das Elbe-Aller-Urstromtal, zwischen dem Flechtinger Höhenzug und dem Naturschutzgebiet Lappwald, weitestgehend aus. Leicht bergab geht es durch die Magdeburger Börde nach Magdeburg an der Elbe hinein. Den Aller-Elbe-Radweg können Sie als Alternativroute nach Magdeburg nutzen. Er verläuft ebenfalls auf kleinen Nebenstraßen oder Radwegen. Er ist in einem ähnlichen Ausbauzustand wie der Aller-Radweg in dieser Region, Sie können allerdings mit weniger Steigungen rechnen. Nur ein Mal müssen Sie auf wenigen Kilometern auf einer befahrenen Straße fahren, da der Radweg in diesem Bereich noch nicht ausgebaut ist.

Beschilderung

Der Aller-Radweg ist größtenteils mit dem entsprechenden Logo beschildert. Teilweise werden Sie aber auch auf rechteckige Schilder mit einer Pfeilwegweisung oder lokale Wegweiser treffen. Der Aller-Elbe-Radweg ist mit dem gleichen Logo und dem Zusatz „Aller-Elbe-Radweg“ versehen.

Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die Nederland goed wil leren kennen.
