Whether you’re setting out for a day around Baldeneysee or exploring the wooded hills of the Elfringhauser Schweiz and Wuppertal, the Kompass Wandelkaart 493 gives you a reliable overview of the local trails and terrain.
With a scale of 1:25 000, this map presents footpaths, contour lines and natural features in clear detail, so you can see how far it is from lake shore to ridge top and plan your route with confidence. It’s printed in German to match local signage and place names, helping you stay on track without guesswork.
A 1:25 000 scale means one centimetre on the map equals 250 metres on the ground. That level of detail strikes a balance between covering a broad area and showing enough information—like slope changes and trail junctions—for dependable navigation.
