Declinare wandern sull’esempio di Erich Kästner e Paolo Cognetti

If we compare the word wandern with its equivalent in Italian, escursionismo, we immediately realize that it is only a partial equivalence. When somebody wandert, wants to see something (the landscape, the nature...), whereas escursionismo is rather considered as a sport. This cultural and lexical distance does not seem to be so great in literature. If we compare a classic of German literature of the last century like Erich Kästner with the Italian writer Paolo Cognetti, we find many descriptions of wandern that are very similar.
