Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours and spot heights. Road network includes selected unsurfaced local roads, indicates locations of border crossings and shows driving distances on main routes.

National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest: campsites, UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains and museums, churches and monasteries of various denominations, viewpoints, natural features, etc. Old historical names are shown for several of the towns, including those in the border areas of neighbouring countries. The map has a latitude grid at intervals of 15’ with longitude at 20’.

”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.
