Two of the most interesting countries to emerge from the collapse of the dreaded Soviet Union were Georgia and Armenia. Both are still fragile economies tied closely to modern-day Russia, but are both very proud independent countries. Georgia occupies one side of the map sheet, with a detailed inset map of Tbilisi, the capital. The country shares a long border with Russia and borders on Turkey to the south. Batum (Batu) is the main port, with ferry services across the Black Sea to Trabzon, Istanbul, and Novorossijsk. For visitors, the main attraction must be the country’s many picturesque churches, but fortresses would enjoy second place. We have tried to mark roads by quality as well as importance.

The other side of the map sheet concentrates on Armenia and its capital of Yerevan This country is the location of Mount Aragat, an extinct volcano that is the highest point of land in Transcaucasia. Armenia is an ancient Christian country and its monasteries are well-worth visiting. The one in Geghard dates from 1215 and is a World Heritage site. Lake Sevan is the largest body of water in the Caucasus region. The country borders Georgia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan and small parts of those countries show on the map.

Bradt Travel Guides er et engelsk forlag med over 200 titler som i hovedsak er skrevet for turister som bruker offentlige transportmidler og egne ben. Bradt har vunnet mange priser for reisehåndbøkene sine som er kjent for å være sterke på mindre kjente reisemål som ikke er overfylt av turister. Forfatterne sørger gjerne for å gi bøkene en personlig ”touch”, og er ikke redde for å være subjektive. Dette gjør dem både til tider morsomme, i tillegg til å være informative og enkle å lese.

This new, thoroughly updated sixth edition of Bradt's Armenia remains the only standalone, English-language guide to this mountainous post-Soviet republic at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Packed with detailed background information and invaluable practical advice, Bradt's Armenia remains the essential choice for anyone travelling to this beautiful country, which is now easily and cheaply accessed by air. Following recent political changes, the story of this new republic is rapidly being rewritten, with transformations extending far beyond the vibrant capital of Yerevan.

Road infrastructure has greatly improved, while rural tourism is coming to life in even far-flung provinces, thereby catering for visitors exploring well off the beaten path. New elements in this edition include: expanded treatment of new budget accommodation in Yerevan and provincial capitals; enhanced information on Yerevan designed to inspire the city-break visitor, encompassing arts, culture and nightlife; a wealth of new information for adventurous travellers, including about more than 300km of new hiking trails established since 2018; and an enhanced language section designed to facilitate communication with Armenians. Bradt's Armenia provides the information needed for a successful trip, covering all the most popular sights as well as those off-the-beaten track, including Dilijan National Park and the stunning forested mountains of Tavush, a region undergoing a renaissance as a place to reconnect with nature; Areni village, one of the birthplaces of wine; and Vayots Dzor, the 'valley of woes', whose side valleys are abundant with wildlife-spotting opportunities.

En reise til de vakreste kirkene og klostrene øst i Europa – fra Jerusalem til Finnmark.

Dette er en annerledes reisebok om de skjønneste kirker og klostre øst i Europa. Forfatter Richard Bærug har pirket i fasaden og kommet tett på menneskene. Hvem er de, disse munkene og nonnene, prestene og andre troende? Hva kan ortodokse, katolikker og protestanter åndelig gi oss i dag?

Østkirken står midt oppe i det kanskje største bruddet på nærmere tusen år. Den russisk-ortodokse kirken, der prestene i sovjettiden nesten ble utryddet og lederne stadig mer kontrollert av KGB, brøt i 2018 med moderkirken i Konstantinopel. Gjennom samtaler med troende rulles mangfoldet og det historiske lappeteppet ut, preget av dragkampen mellom troen på Gud og maktambisjonene til politiske ledere.
Mellom søken etter sannhet og gevinster fra løgner og legender.

Bli med på en dramatisk, men ytterst vakker reise fra Jerusalem gjennom Armenia, Georgia, Tyrkia, Kypros, Athos, Hellas, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraina, Belarus (Hviterussland), Litauen, Latvia, Estland, Russland, Finland og Norge.

Kaukasus likner på Alpene, men er høyere, villere, mer uberørt og eksotisk. Trolig har ingen vest-europeer de seneste ti årene vandret mer til fots enn norske Richard Bærug i dette himmelsk vakre fjellområdet. Fra storslagne fjelltopper bukter svulmende isbreer seg ned mot irrgrønne daler prydet av rhododendronskoger og en overveldende blomsterprakt. Med eld- gamle sledeveier og feiende flotte fjellstier er Kaukasus intet mindre enn et drømmeterreng for turgåere. Det er fortsatt et eventyrland slik Hamsun beskrev det for litt over hundre år siden.

Boka beskriver 80 vakre vandringer til fots i den kaukasiske fjellheimen; både i Georgia, Armenia, Aserbajdsjan, Russland og Tyrkia.

Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals. Each country has a separate index. Street plans of central Yerevan and Baku name main streets and highlight various places of interest including selected foreign embassies.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: international and provincial boundaries are not marked precisely enough to give a clear picture of the current political situation in the region, including enclaves and border crossings.
