Croatia

Piers Letcher

5th edition

2013

"Sitting at the cross-roads of Europe, Croatia offers an unrivalled mix of culture and nature. It continues to seduce visitors with its beautifully preserved historic towns and cities, magnificent cultural sights, gorgeous coastline, outstanding national parks and delicious food-not to mention some of the clearest waters you are likely to find anywhere in the Mediterranean. In this updated edition, all the basics are covered with details of transport, the increasing number of boutique hotels and ecotourism home-stays, and local wines, food and olive oil. An expanded culture section includes information on all the new museums opened in recent years, traditions added to the UNESCO List of Intangible Heritage and the Garden Festival at Zadar on the Dalmatian coast."

Adriatic East Coast: Seeing Birds and Experiencing Nature in Historic Landscapes on the Mediterranean Coast

Martin Schneider-Jacoby and Borut Stumberger

EuroNatur Service

2012

Covers Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania.

"Summer, sun and seas of azure blue: most people think of a holiday on the beach when they hear the words East Adriatic Coast. The EuroNatur guide Adriatic East Coast shows impressively that the region has a great deal more to offer. In fact this place is a must for nature and bird lovers. Up to now the information available about the region has been scant and has been confined to the different countries that share the coast. The EuroNatur guide fills a gap here. Alongside valuable travel tips Adriatic East Coast gives detailed descriptions of the animal and plant life and of the breath-takingly beautiful landscapes of the East Adriatic Coast."

Walking in Croatia: Day and Multi-day Walks

Rudolf Abraham

Cicerone Press

2nd edition

2010

"This guidebook describes 19 day walks and 7 multi-day treks in all the main hiking areas of Croatia, from the mountains on the coast to those inland as well as taking in several of the islands. The routes vary from 3km easy strolls to strenuous multi-day hut-to-hut mountain treks. The routes are both circular and point-to-point routes, varying in duration from a few hours to a few days. In many (but not all) cases there is scope to shorten or extend routes, bypassing more difficult sections or adding more challenging excursions or alternative routes. They fall into eight main sections: Walks around Zagreb, Walks in Slovania, Walks in Istira, Walks in the coastal ranges or Dinaric Alps, Walks in Velebit, Walks in in Plitvicka jezera and Krka, Walks in Mosor, Kozjack and Biokovo and Walks in the Croatian islands."

Central and Eastern European Wildlife

Gerard Gorman

Bradt

2008

"The wildlife of eastern Europe is one of the unexpected attractions of a region best known for its cultural assets: relatively few visitors are aware of the diversity on their holiday doorstep, from brown bears and wolves to numerous birds no longer common in the west of the continent. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, the guide will appeal both to the holidaymaker and to the serious naturalist seeking a compact volume to carry around. And after the trip, it will also make an attractive souvenir. The guide covers the wildlife of: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina."

Gerard Gorman

2006

A guide to over 230 birdwatching sites in Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
