The “magic of the Orient” begins just a few nautical miles from Europe: in Morocco, where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meet. The kingdom of Morocco does not only enchant with its exotic perfumes, its cities and its villages worthy of the Arabian Nights, but also by spectacular nature and an unsuspected range of possible hikes between the coast and the high mountains. The Rother hiking guide “Morocco” presents 52 varied itineraries – exciting hikes of half a -company day of several days in still intact landscapes. Hikers looking for thrills in the high mountains will find what they are looking for, as will amateur hikers for whom the cultural experience and the beauty of nature are essential. The Rif mountains, with their Mediterranean character and wild reliefs, and the karst rocks of the Middle Atlas delight visitors from all walks of life. The peaks reaching 4000 m in the High Atlas are imposing, but relatively easy to climb. Pleasant hikes lead to the Anti-Atlas with its picturesque villages of adobe houses. And in the Sahara, in the south of the country, you can undertake magnificent hikes through dune landscapes and towards oases with palm groves. Finally, comfortable accommodation and Moroccan cuisine with couscous and mint tea guarantee a well-deserved rest in the evening. The author, Michael Wellhausen, is a mountain hiker as ambitious as he is a great traveler. His experience of Africa and the Sahara is reflected in the texts which, in addition to exact descriptions of the hikes, offer a lot of interesting information about the country and its inhabitants. Detailed information on transport, restaurants and accommodation, hiking maps with route layout, relevant altitude profiles and downloadable GPS data make it easier to plan and carry out hikes. As for the numerous photos, they already create an “oriental” holiday atmosphere at home.
