Dolomites – Lake Garda
- Venice region of north-eastern Italy on a road map at 1:200, 000 from Tabacco with excellent presentation of the topography derived from the publishers’ highly regarded & popular hiking maps, plus on the reverse a panorama drawing of the mountains. Coverage extends from the Austrian border southwards to the A4 motorway including the whole of Lake Garda, Verona, Padua & Venice, plus east to Lienz/ Pordenone. The map provides a very clear picture of the region’s landscape through graphic relief for its exposed rocky areas, plus relief shading & contours at 100m intervals, & has plenty of names of individual groups, peaks, valleys, etc. Additional colouring indicates woodlands & boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. Minor roads are drawn without generalizing their course, showing the twists & turns across the mountainous terrain. Driving distances are marked on main & many connecting routes. Railway lines are shown with stations & mountain transport lines (cable car lines, chair lifts, etc) are included. The map is designed to present the topography of the region rather than its tourist sights, but it does indicate campsites. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 10’ & 20’ respectively. Where appropriate, both Italian & German place names are given. Map legend
