Alps Reise Know-How

The Alps on light, waterproof and tear-resistant map from Reise Know-How in their highly acclaimed “World Mapping Project”, printed double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale of 1:550,000 and a convenient size sheet. On the western half of the map coverage extends west to Grenoble and south from Lake Constance to the French Riviera; the eastern half extends from north of Munich to the Milan – Lake Garda – Venice motorway, includes much of Austria with Vienna, Linz and Graz, and covers most of Slovenia.

Topography is shown by altitude colouring in bands of 500m with plenty of names of mountain ranges, peaks with heights, valleys, etc, plus additional colouring for forests. Road network is clearly presented with road numbers, motorway junction numbers in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland, and driving distances on main routes, but does not indicate some features included on many maps of this region such as seasonal closures of roads and/or mountain passes, steep gradients or roads not recommended for caravans. Railway lines are included. Symbols highlight various places of interest including UNESCO World Heritage sites, castles, etc. The map is indexed and has latitude and longitude lines at 30’ intervals.

”World Mapping Project” from Reise Know-How 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.
