Julian & Kamnik (Steiner) Alps at 1:75, 000 on a GPS compatible, double-sided, waterproof & tear-resistant map from Kompass in their series covering Northern Slovenia & the country’s coast, with hiking & cycling routes plus extensive tourist information.

The maps also have relief shading, plus plenty of spot heights & names of peaks & mountain ranges. An overprint highlights hiking routes, indicating difficult sections & showing, where appropriate, the numbers of the trans-European & Slovenian long-distance hiking routes. Also marked are cycling routes & a very wide range of symbols highlight places of interest, different types of accommodation including campsites & agritourism farms, sport & recreational facilities, etc. Road network indicates locations of petrol stations. Railways are shown with stations & different types of mountain lines (cable cars, chair lists, etc.) are marked. The maps have latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 2°30’. Map legend, conveniently placed on both sides of each map,

English. Somewhat old-fashioned style of cartography with a variety of type faces & extensive use of italics will appeal to all those who like their maps “as they used to be”! To see the other titles in this series please click on the series link.
