Baltic States

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of the Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, plus the Kaliningrad region of Russia, 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.

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 names of mountain ranges, and marshes. Road network includes local roads and tracks and gives driving distances on main and secondary roads. Ferry connections are also marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

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, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 30’ and an extensive index of localities which lists national parks separately. Map legend includes English.

Coverage includes the whole of the Kaliningradskaya Oblast of Russia and the adjoining areas of Poland as far as Elk, Olsztyn and Malbork. Old German names are shown for main towns in these areas, as well as for some of the locations within Lithuania and Latvia.

”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.
