Norway: Cappelen Regional Road Maps

View titles

Regional touring maps from Norway’s leading cartographic publisher. The maps have bold, effective relief shading with numerous spot heights and names of geographical features such as mountain ranges, glaciers, valleys, waterfalls, etc, to indicate the country’s mountainous terrain. Colours show the vast forested areas and national parks are highlighted. Road network includes minor local or private roads, cart tracks, tolls, winter closures, steep gradients, etc. Railways, ferry connections and, in remote areas, hiking trails with walking times are also shown and local administrative boundaries are marked.

The maps are particularly good at highlighting accommodation facilities, with an extensive range of symbols showing hotels, motels, campsites, youth hostels, etc., indicating different standards and categories. Other symbols show places of interest, viewpoints, bird colonies, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 15’ and 30’ respectively. There is no index of place names. Map legend includes English.
