TRAVEL ADVENTURES 1950 - 2018 - HERBERT HERZMAN...

You do not have to traverse Africa by bicycle  solo extreme climbing routes or snowboard down
glaciers in order to have an adventure. Between the extreme adventurer who craves for the
adrenaline rush and the tourist who avoids any danger is the traveller. He or she also seeks
adventure but without risking life and limb. The memories of seven decades published here show
that the average person can also travel adventurously. They contain early travel experiences
that made a lasting impression  episodes of youthful wanderlust  hitchhiking trips  long
cycling tours  epic road trips through the Balkans and the United States and extensive journeys
in South America. Hikes and climbs in the Andes  in Africa and in the Alps round off the
picture. Travelling not only makes us experience the present  it also brings us back to the
past. How can we walk the border between Austria and Italy in the Dolomites without remembering
the First World War? How can we ignore history when we visit Sarajevo or Mostar? And how can we
stand in front of La Moneda  the presidential palace in Santiago de Chile and not think about
the original Nine Eleven that took place there in 1973? Exploring new regions and foreign
countries without relying on tour operators is not entirely risk-free but the independent
traveller is rewarded with intensive experiences and unforgettable memories.
