Knyga anglų kalba apie keliones
European culture has had a profound impact on human history. Its rich heritage has shaped the modern world in countless ways, and much of it is preserved for everyone to see and experience. The 34 World Heritage destinations featured in this book are some of Europe’s greatest treasures. They represent profound achievements of humanity, from extensive gardens that came to define the notion of beauty to underground mineral labyrinths whose riches built empires. Each themed chapter illuminates a different side of Europe’s heritage, from the ancient to the royal and the romantic to the underground world beneath our feet. We explore ancient paths, shaded lanes, and twisting tunnels that illuminate Europe’s cultural past and present alike. We step off the well-trodden track, unearthing surprising stories and precious sites in a way that also helps preserve them.
