Author Description

This new edition of the northern portion of Germany, covering from the Atlantic coast to well east of Hamburg and from the Danish border to Bremen on one side and from the Dutch border to Magdeburg and the Ruhr Valley to Frankfurt, completes our three-sheet regional mapping for the country (the other two maps being Southern Germany and Berlin/Eastern Germany). Germany is one of the most densely populated and developed country in Europe, so it is a very complex area to map. We show motorways, major and secondary highways, and a goodly number of tertiary-level roads. We have shown the road numbers wherever practical. We also show dozens of castles, a great number of guesthouse accommodations outside of major urban areas, sites of interest to visitors, major parks, and rail lines with passenger service. The area of coverage includes several German states and literally hundreds of extremely picturesque smaller towns and villages of great interest to visitors.
