Review
"Guidebooks from Cadogan are always superb--comprehensive, intelligent, practical, and well-written."--
Active Years"We tout these guides a lot, we must confess, but we're suckers for good, humorous writing."--Book Passage
"The outstanding series"--Sunday Telegraph (UK)
Synopsis
From the delights of Münich to the craggy peaks of the Bavarian Alps, this guide explores the fairytale castles of oddball King Ludwig II, the idyllic natural scenery of the Black Forest and the Bavarian Alps, the impressive German National Museum in Nuremberg, and some of the tastiest food and drink in Germany.
About the Author
Rodney Bolt grew up in Africa, was educated at Cambridge University where he studied English; and now lives in Amsterdam. He has traveled throughout Europe and has lived and worked in Greece, the Netherlands, and Germany. In 1992, he set off in a battered Volkswagen van on a two-year-long journey through newly-united Germany to research this book. This experience resulted in a steep learning curve in mechanics, and a Travel Writer of the Year award from the German National Tourist Office in 1994. He is also author of Cadogan's guides
Amsterdam and
Madeira & Porto Santo.
