For people who want more than just the touristy stuff:
I may have been the first peacetime American to ever be totally unexcited about visiting Europe. I was writing a book that featured adventures on all seven continents, looking for rare and interesting wildlife. Of all the continents, Europe gave me the most trepidation. Where would I go to get away from humans and get closer to animals?
When I read the most popular travel guides, all I could find were tips on touristy locations—the exact opposite of what I wanted. Eventually I discovered the “Wild Guide” series, put out by Interlink Books. Perfect!
By using books in the Wild Guide series, my wife and I were able to explore great out-of-the-way places that featured stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. The end result was an outstanding adventure that became one of my favorite chapters in my book (which I appropriately titled “Surprisingly Europe”).
Unfortunately the Wild Guide series has not been updated, and books such as Wild Ireland are likely in short supply. If you have interest in the natural side of Europe, snap-up these guides as quickly as you can. Fortunately, most of the places featured in these books should be quite similar to how they were when the series was published.
