Germany: Alpenverein/Bavarian Survey 25K Hiking Maps

View titles

German Alps in a new series begun jointly in 2007 by the German Alpine Club and the Bavarian survey organization. The maps use the survey’s excellent detailed cartography with contours at 20m intervals, shading and graphic relief for exposed rocky areas. Different types of vegetation and land used are shown. The overprint highlights waymarked hiking paths, including long-distance routes, indicating their numbers or names, as well as climbing and ski routes. Symbols show locations of youth hostels, campsites, mountain huts and shelters, and various places of interest. The maps have a 1km UTM grid. Map legend and the information on the reverse with advice for hikers are in German only.

PLEASE NOTE:
The series will eventually have 22 titles. One title was published in 2007, with two more planned for 2008.
