Hungary: Cartographia Hiking Guides

Hiking guides from Hungaryโ€™s leading cartographic publisher Cartographia with detailed, contoured maps highlighting walking routes, including Hungarian sections of the European long-distance footpaths. The text is in Hungarian only but map legends include English (unless indicated to the contrary in the individual description).The guides have detailed topographic maps at scales from 1:25,000 and 1:60,000 with contours at 10m intervals enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and graphics for different types of vegetation and land use, e.g. vineyards, orchards, meadows, woodlands, etc. An overprint highlights local and/or long-distance hiking trails, indicating their waymarking signage. Most guides also show recommended cycling routes. Local roads indicate bus routes and stops, and railway lines are shown with stations. Symbols mark various facilities and places of interests including campsites, hostels and other tourist accommodation, restaurants and cafes, etc. GPS coordinates are as indicated in the individual description of each guide.Extensive text, illustrated with colour photos, is in Hungarian only โ€“ a challenge indeed! โ€“ but a lot of useful information, including telephone numbers for tourist offices, can be deciphered with help from a pocket dictionary.
