Slow Escapes - German

Edition: Text in German

Conscious travel in harmony with nature and as part of a vibrant rural culture. The most beautiful accommodations and best examples of a new travel culture. Travel ennobles the mind and clears up with prejudices, Oscar Wilde knew that. In Slow Escapes, journalist Clara le Fort introduces the most beautiful places for another, sustainable travel: converted monasteries and expanded windmills, revived manors, and other places whose appeal now breathes new life to entire regions. How it can work to travel in style and environmentally conscious while meaningfully involving rural communities, respecting and getting to know local traditions, this book shows. Whether wine, olives, cheese or regional crafts, much that used to be a basis of life, is not only folklore, but also creates identity for entire regions and their people and thus the basis for a new form of respectful travel culture.
