Hiking in the land of the Sch'tis! The far north of France is a region waiting to be discovered - this has been clear since the cinematic success "Welcome to the Sticks." Picturesque and charming, this lesser-known area between Belgium and Paris boasts delightful towns, quaint half-timbered houses, and hearty specialties. The stunning landscape is perfect for hiking. The Rother hiking guide "Picardy - Northern France" presents 50 enjoyable tours. Particularly appealing are the vast forests and the three nature parks with their flat plains and gentle hills. Here, one can embark on beautiful, often solitary hikes. Coastal hikes impress with their rugged cliffs; many beaches invite for a refreshing swim in the summer. Along picturesque lakes and untouched waterways, a rich variety of fauna can be discovered.
