Details
One of the titles in a series of hiking maps of Tuscany, parts of Umbria, and the adjoining areas. The cartography is rather old fashioned and sometimes not as clear as in the other map series but for many areas, especially for parts of Tuscany, these are the only hiking maps available. Most maps have contours at 25-metre intervals, with some relief shading and colouring for forests. An overprint highlights hiking paths, including all the popular hiking routes such as the Grandi Sentieri della Provincia di Siena, etc. The overprint also shows campsites and, where appropriate, mountain refuges and other types of alpine accommodation. Some of the maps indicate latitude and longitude at the map corners, but with longitude sometimes based on Rome rather than Greenwich. Map legends vary, most maps include English. Some maps include street plans and additional notes on the region. For more details see individual descriptions.
In this title: contours, although no interval is given, with relief shading and spot heights. Towns and villages of particular interest are highlighted. The overprint also highlights local hiking paths, including the GEA - Grande Escursione Appenninica, and mountain refuges. Geographical coordinates at the corners have longitude based on Rome. Map legend includes English. On the reverse there are extensive notes about the area in Italian only.
