'Cicerone is more prolific than ever with titles galore coming out that send us spinning around all points of the compass with mouth-watering inspiration.
Hungary does not spring to mind as a walking holiday destination but this book drew back the curtain on a fascinating variety of landscapes. Hungary’s secret highlands of rolling hills, high karst meadows, vineyards, sink-holes and crags are complemented by 13thC castle ruins and forest villages, criss-crossed by hundreds of trails with a system of coloured waymarks set up in the 19thC.'
