Carian Trail 1

Carian Trail (Carian Way) Topographic Maps with 20m Elevation ContoursThis Carian Trail Map Series consists of 7 large format atlases (8.5x11in) that together cover the longest hiking route in Mediterranean Turkey, about 850km in total length. The maps are specifically designed for trekkers, hikers and walkers of all levels, to make it easy to plan and enjoy both short excursions and long multi-day trekking adventures. Special attention has been given to water sources, most of which are not shown on any other maps: springs, wells, cisterns and drinking water fountains. The maps also show locations of all known cities and towns of ancient Caria, Lydia and other civilizations of Asia Minor so that you can put a name to the ruins you see along the way.All neighboring maps (atlases and pages within atlases) overlap each other on the borders to make it easy to navigate when you need to switch to the next atlas or page. Unlike a GPS receiver or a navigation app on your phone, these paper atlases don't require batteries and are totally shatter proof, making them an important insurance against getting lost in unfamiliar terrain. Large format pages make navigation comfortable and reduce the page count (and thus the weight and bulk) to the ultralight backpacking territory.The maps extend well beyond the immediate surroundings of the Carian Trail to provide you with context and options for change of plans or your own exploration. Mercator projection with both UTM and WGS84 coordinate grids. Features include road & trail network, tourist attractions, transportation, food, water sources, campsites, guest houses & hotels.
