The map also highlights local national parks, campsites and mountain refuges, viewpoints, various places of interest, etc. Latitude and longitude grid is at 10’ intervals. Map legend includes English.

The map has been published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed ”World Mapping Project”, 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, including the whole of Italy, Tuscany and Sicily, 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.
