The series

Discovery often begins with a small detour.

A door that is usually closed. A trace beside the path. A house whose story only becomes visible when you take a second look.

REGIO ENTDECKUNGEN invites you to come closer to these places and experience a region with open eyes.

How the books work

From the overview straight to the discovery.

Each volume begins with an overview map. Chapter maps and numbered locations then guide you step by step to each discovery.

Chapter maps

Key

The right moment for every discovery.
