A wide range of symbols provide information on various types of accommodation (rural hotels, motels, farms, mountain huts, campsites), recreational facilities, picturesque locations, etc. For drivers, locations of petrol stations are marked. Each map is double-sided, with a good overlap between the sides, and has latitude and longitude lines at 2’ intervals.

Descriptions of hiking routes give timings and the degree of difficulty, as do notes for cycling routes which are also accompanied by route profiles. Also provided is a list of mountain huts.
