Innovative hiking atlas of the Polish & Slovak Tatra Mountains presenting 20 recommended hiking excursions on colour-enhanced aerial photos to provide a more vivid & immediately accessible picture of the terrain than offered by conventional contoured maps. Each photo is overprinted with the routes, indicating their waymarking colours & hiking times in both directions, plus symbols showing various local facilities. Where useful, conventional maps are also included to provide an overview or an enhancement of a section of the route. Route descriptions are divided into small stages & give hiking times, changes in altitude, facilities, etc. Additional information
Includes::, as appropriate, several panorama views from various trails, diagrams of local caves, etc. The atlas has an extensive index listing both Polish & Slovak alternatives of place names. Map legend & all the text are in POLISH ONLY – great pity, because the combination of the text & the photographic map provides an excellent view of each recommended trail (and for the writer of this description brings back many childhood memories!).
