This book was released on 2019-03 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Capital with The Big Heart: Reykjavik Travel Many tour guides begin with lengthy and uninteresting chapters about Reykjavik's and Iceland's history, however because we're going to discover the city and most of the countryside, i am best going to provide you with a few basic pieces of statistics right here. Reykjavik is the northernmost capital city inside the global and is the middle of the Republic of Iceland. Our primary goal for this experience is Reykjavik, but because it's now not a big city like most capitals, we're going to additionally find out the country, the home of the natural beauty of Iceland. In case you visit Iceland from a massive town, you'll discover Reykjavik to resemble a huge town in place of a capital: its population is circa 130,000, which is about 60 percentage of the entire country's populace. I'm certain that those who stay in towns of hundreds of thousands of souls will find it to be peaceful and a relaxing exchange of tempo. There are six towns which can be a part of Reykjavik.

Download or read book ICELAND LANDMANNALAUGAR Hiking Trekking written by Oleg Senkov and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a "budget" version of the travel guide (reduced production costs), instead of fully colorful pages inside (standard version), it has black and white (b/w) interior, - the colors are nice to have, but not essential and can be sacrificed to minimize printing costs, yet, the book delivers all necessary information as the standard version. This "smart" travel guide is about magical LANDMANNALAUGAR rainbow-like colorful mountains in ICELAND, located in the heart of Highlands. The book describes in detail 12 half- and full day hikes, plus, the most famous multiday trekking hikes - Laugavegur Trail (52 km) and Fimmvörðuháls Trail (26 km). It contains 120 GPS coordinates of important to know places in ICELAND and in LANDMANNALAUGAR, 80 website links, covering: best viewpoints, campsites, mountain huts with detailed info and prices, hiking trails around, geology of the place and 3 maps. The book first describes how to get to ICELAND with a ferry from Denmark or by air, then, how to commute within ICELAND with a bus, a rented car or hitchhiking, after that I give the most important advice how to survive as adventurous hiker, how to safely do multiday trekking in dangerous Highlands, and then finally, I review in detail hiking trails with important sights around. This is a unique and the most complete "smart" travel guide, which I made, at first, to be solely used in my own, after buying so many travel guides and still feeling - they aren't good enough for my adventures to explore wilderness as a biologist and wildlife/travel photographer. I was missing it during my 4 expeditions in ICELAND, 2015-2018, otherwise, I would be much more efficient as a landscape/wildlife photographer and traveler. This is my 5th book in the "wilderness explorer" series, and the second about ICELAND. First three travel guides were about PATAGONIA (1st book Peninsula Valdes Nature Reserve, 2nd Torres del Paine National Park, and 3rd Tierra del Fuego Land).The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo/group travelers, in "fast & easy" style with a rented car/campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife and travel/landscape photographers on a mission. I hope the book will be a good "practical tool", an all-to-know set of guidebooks for you (for me as well), while you are exploring the world with responsible mind and open heart as a truly nature lover.
