Western Balkans at 1:725,000 on a light, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed road map with topographic and tourist information. The map, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

Coverage includes all the ex-Yugoslavia countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia), plus Albania. Place names within Serbia are in Latin alphabet only.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and numerous names of mountain ranges. Road network includes local roads and tracks, and gives driving distances on main and many secondary roads. Ferry routes to the Adriatic islands are also shown.

National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest, including campsites, UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains, castles and churches, museums, viewpoints, beaches, ports and marinas, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 20’, plus an extensive index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:
Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
