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. Many maps include street plans and additional notes on the region. For more details see individual descriptions.
In this title: an enlargement of a map which must have been originally produced at a less detailed scale, with very large print for place names and other information. There are no contours, only faint altitude colouring and numerous spot heights. Local hiking paths and places of interest are highlighted. Geographical coordinates at the map corners are based on Greenwich. Map legend includes English.
