For anyone drawn to 1800s Europe exploration or studying the contours of Austro-Hungarian Empire tourism, this is an indispensable historical travel reference; for the armchair traveller and the planning traveller alike it offers the sense of pacing, place and purpose that guided journeys in the old world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than a working handbook for southern germany tourism, it is a vivid historical travel reference that records routes and customs across the Austro-Hungarian realms, and its pages are indispensable to anyone tracing central Europe destinations of the period.

More than mere directions, its tone offers an entry point into how travellers encountered towns, inns and landscapes, and why southern germany tourism of the era helped shape later travel culture. Both evocative and exacting, the handbook is as useful to an interested reader seeking atmosphere as it is to researchers consulting a trusted historical travel reference. Part of the Baedeker travel series, the handbook's clear intelligence and practical tone explain why it has long been prized by historians, libraries and discerning readers who favour vintage European travel guide writing.
