Routes are classified according to the density of motorized traffic, the difficulty of the terrain, and road restrictions. Unsurfaced roads are indicated, gradient marks show steep inclines, and local danger spots are highlighted. The maps show facilities for transporting cycles by train, bus, ferries, mountain railways, chair lifts, and cable cars. Border crossings indicate those open only to hikers and cyclist during daylight hours. Bike rental facilities are marked and towns with special bicycle-friendly accommodation are highlighted. Other tourist information includes various types of accommodations (campsites, youth hostels, “Friends of Nature” houses, etc), viewpoints, picnic sites, swimming pools, and places of interest.
