Kompass Wandelkaart 196 Mittlerer Bayerischer Wald

The Kompass Wandelkarte 196 Mittlerer Bayerischer Wald is a hiking map designed for exploring the central Bavarian Forest. It lays out trails, terrain features and points of interest to help outdoor enthusiasts plan routes through this wooded region.

At a scale of 1:50 000, this compact map strikes a balance between area coverage and detail, making it easier to spot paths, contour lines and landmarks as you navigate woodland trails. Its slim size (20 x 12 x 1.4 cm) fits into backpack pockets or map cases, so you can keep it close at hand on the go. Because it’s published in German, the text and symbols match what you’ll find on local signs and trail markers.

A scale of 1:50 000 means 1 cm on the map represents 500 m on the ground, giving a detailed view that’s well suited for day hikes and multi-day treks alike. The clear contour lines help you assess elevation changes and gradients before you set off, so you know roughly how steep a climb or descent will be.
