Description
This book appeared mid-way between the two world wars. Hungary and Turkey had lost vast amounts of territory, and the reader, travelling by rail or road, constantly crossing old and new frontiers, sees many signs of the devastation caused by war. Not deterred, Baedeker advises his readers to tour the delightful coast of Croatia by steamer, landing at choice places such as Dubrovnik and Split. He also writes a section about Albania which, in those days, was only just opening up to tourism. The (German) reader might have been somewhat put off by the size of the medicine chest he is advised to carry (malaria and bed bugs being a problem!) and by the mention of indifferent food and basic beds. This book gives an intriguing insight into travel to a fascinating, if war-torn, part of Europe in those days.
