This historical book recounts the history of Trêves. Trêves is without doubt one of the most ancient towns in Europe: so ancient in fact that its foundation has been attributed to one Trebeta, the step-son of Semiramis, the Assyrian empress, whose story resembles that of Bellerophon in the Greek legend. But nothing is historically known of Trêves till the Roman times. Then the chief city of the Treviri became under the empire the metropolis of the north. It is said to have contained more than 100,000 inhabitants, and this is by no means incredible when the extent of the old Roman wall is taken into consideration.

This guidebook provides 14 stages of route description to cycling along the Moselle river, a route that offers stunning scenery, plentiful accommodation and places to eat and drink, and straightforward cycling throughout. A well-waymarked, generally downhill 512km route, it is mostly off-road and on well-surfaced cycle tracks (mainly asphalt) with virtually no gradients, and the majority is along the riverbank or on canal towpaths. From its source in the Vosges Mountains of eastern France, the Moselle flows through the French region of Lorraine and crosses into Luxembourg then into the German Rheinland region before it reaches its confluence with the Rhine at the west German city of Koblenz. Suitable for both veteran long-distance cyclists and for newcomers to cycle touring who wish to start with an easy-to-follow journey, the route can be completed in a week by fit cyclists, cycling two stages per day. Two weeks allow for alternative stages and optional excursions through the Saar and Rhine gorges and to visit the Boucles de Moselle and the city of Luxembourg, and give enough time for sightseeing and a leisurely riding pace.

ISBN:

In a world where magic is controlled by king and church, where the angelic creatures, dragons, have been forbidden to show their true form. A world where humans and dragons had once bred, producing a new race--dragans. A race that holds all the power of the dragons themselves, except the ability to traverse between the planes of heaven and the three hells. Ethereal, land of the dragan throne itself, where the descendants of Herimus, one of the first dragons and favored by Dos, have ruled for over 1,800 years. King Bramus Draxon, pure dragan, the present king over all Ethereal and the common lands, still grieving the murder of his wife and unborn son of some seventeen years ago, finds himself without an heir and a kingdom falling into chaos as the other dragan houses plot for the throne. With his loss of faith in Dos, the proclaimed creator, his own cleverness and wit are all that he has to rely on.
