However, for each itinerary, all the data is indicated to allow each hiker to choose the most suitable route, such as difficulty, length in kilometres, differences in altitude and walking hours. The author does not limit himself to the precise, detailed description of the path, but enlightens the reader on everything around: panoramas, naturalistic, historical, architectural emergencies, curiosities. All the accommodation facilities in the area covered are also indicated, with all the data necessary to book for lunch or the night. All hikers, from the less experienced to the more experienced, will certainly find the most suitable itinerary. The network of paths described also allows the more experienced to create their own itinerary using the descriptions and maps provided as a basis. Among the many treks that can be done using the guide, 19 are proposed, 11 of which are for weekends. An indispensable guide to get to know the Apennines on foot.
