    PEEFACE. The object of the Hnndbook to the Eastern Alps is to describe all that is best worth seeing, to assist the traveller in planning his tour and disposing of his time to the best ad- vantage, and thus to enable him the more thoroughly to en- ]oy the raagmficent scenery of one of the most interesting regions in Europe. ° The districts described in this Handbook were formerly embraced in the Handbook for Southern Germany and Aus- tria which IS now for the third time published in two seii- arate volumes. The information in the present volume, which corresponds with the twenty-third German edition, is how- ever, much fuller than that contained in the corresponding part of the older Handbook. The Eastern Alps have been repeatedly visited by the Editor within the last few years for the purpose of obtaining the most recent and trust- worthy infomation; but as many of the data in the Hand- book relate to matters which are constantly undergoing al- teration he wil highly appreciate any corrections or sulges- tions with which travellers may favour him. Those aliSy received which in many instances have proved most useful he gratefully acknowledges. !>«uii, SEOTrnV^Ti'^*'t?^ ^^^'SrJ '^ d^^^ded into Eight bECTiONS (1 S. Bavaria ; 2.
