Klappentext zu „Willoughby, R: North Korea “
A fascinating land on the edge of the world, despite recent tensions. North Korea is a country more accessible than commonly believed. Bradt's North Korea is the market leader and the only guide allowed into the country by the authorities. The city of Hamhung and Pujon County, both deep in North Korea's interior, have opened to tourists since 2010, and pioneering cross-country cycle tours offer visitors the chance to see an intriguing country in a more sustainable manner. Thoroughly updated throughout with two new maps and an additional eight pages of photographs, the guide is the most detailed and comprehensive to North Korea available.
