The 40 hikes lead through the cycle of a flowering year to the most beautiful flowers of the pre-Alpine and mountain flora in Upper Bavaria and Tyrol. The focus of the routes is in the Five Lakes region, including Ammersee, Chiemgau, Mangfall Mountains, Tölzer Land, Werdenfelser Land, and Tyrol. With precise location and time information, as well as the help of a map, readers can discover the flowers presented on each tour, which are located only at the edge of the path for conservation reasons, with a high probability, aside from annual fluctuations. Although the bloom is the centerpiece of all hikes, the scenic attractions are not neglected. Over 400 images prepare readers for each tour and facilitate flower identification.
