Lake Lucerne area at 1:50, 000 in a series from Hallwag covering Switzerland’s popular hiking regions on light, waterproof & tear-resistant maps highlighting long-distance paths: the nine national routes plus special regional routes, as well as other local hiking trails. Cartography is similar to that used both in Hallwag’s hiking atlases & in the walking series from Kümmerly + Frey at 1:60, 000 covering the whole country. The maps have contours at 50m or 25m intervals according to the terrain, enhanced by graphic relief & shading. A special feature of this series is an overprint indicating the nine national long-distance routes, plus regional long-distance trails. The overprint also shows other local paths, distinguishing between sign-posted hiking paths, mountain paths where proper walking shoes are necessary, & alpine paths requiring special equipment for glacier traverses & light climbing. Mountain huts are marked, plus various types of accommodation: campsites, youth hostels, “ Friends of Nature” houses, & secluded hotels & restaurants. Road network indicates local bus routes with stops. Railways, narrow gauge mountain railways, cable car lines, & chair lifts are shown, with various symbols highlighting places of interest, viewpoints, picnic sites, swimming pools, etc. The maps have a 1km grid for Swiss national coordinates (datum CH1903 Bessel), with latitude & longitude shown as margin ticks at 5’. * Map legend
