Swartberg and Klein-Karoo region on a contoured and GPS compatible, double-sided, waterproof and

tear-resistant map at 1:160,000 from Slingsby Maps, with excellent topographic detail and plenty of tourist information, including street plans of ten main towns.

The map provides a very detailed picture of this mountainous terrain, with altitude colouring, shading, con- tours at 20m intervals and numerous spot heights. For GPS navigation important road junctions and various other features are annotated with waypoints and the map has latitude and longitude lines at 5’ intervals.

Road information is very finely graded, indicating road surface, private roads with public access, 4WD only tracks, cattle grids and game gates, locations of fuel supplies, etc. Also marked are routes found by publish- ers as enjoyable, or conversely as dull. Railway lines are shown with stations. For hikers the map indicates waymarked paths and shows other trails. A very wide range of symbols highlight various places of interest and tourist facilities: different types of accommodation from hotels to campsites, picnic places, farm stalls, wineries, restaurants, sport and recreational sites, animal viewing sites, etc.

The map also includes street plans of ten of the region’s main towns: Laingsburg, Ladismith, Van Wyksdorp, Calitzdrop, De Rust, Oudtshoorn, Schoemanshoek, Prince Albert, Uniondale and Willowmore, all annotated with accommodation and other tourist facilities of places of interest.

Ein glitzernder Bergsee auf einer sommerlichen Wanderung - da lockt ein Sprung ins kühle Nass! Und wie herrlich ein Bach mit glasklaren Gumpen, die zum Schwimmen nur so einladen ... Der Rother Selection Band »Alpine Swimming Österreich« stellt 85 Wanderungen in den österreichischen Alpen zu besonders schön gelegenen (Berg-)Seen, Quellen, Wasserfällen, Bächen, Flüssen und sogar Höhlen vor - immer mit der Gelegenheit zu einem erfrischenden Bad in großartiger Landschaft.

Die Naturbadeplätze, die das Buch präsentiert, bieten echtes Wildswimming-Vergnügen. Sie sind auf reizvollen Wanderungen zu erreichen, die sich teils eher kurz und gemütlich gestalten und für die ganze Familie eignen, teils stellen sie auch ambitionierte Bergwanderer vor eine Herausforderung. Allen Ausflügen gemeinsam ist das Motto »Pack' die Badehose ein ...« - egal ob für genussvolles Planschen im warmen Moorteich oder für sportliche Schwimmzüge im eisigen Gletschersee.

Der Autor Hansjörg Ransmayr ist Wildswimming-Pionier, Wasserretter und Bergwanderführer. Er kennt die alpinen Gewässer Österreichs bestens und liefert viele Tipps zu geeigneten Einstiegstellen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, Ausrüstungsgegenständen und vielem mehr, inklusive einem Exkurs zum Thema Ganzjahres- bzw. Eisschwimmen. Jede Wanderung wird mit einer zuverlässigen Wegbeschreibung, einem Kartenausschnitt mit Routenverlauf und einem Höhenprofil vorgestellt. GPS-Tracks stehen für alle Touren bereit, dazu gibt es die nötigen Infos zur Infrastruktur wie Anreise und Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Herrliche Naturaufnahmen vermitteln das Gefühl des spritzigen Nass, das die »Wildschwimmer« erwartet, und über QR-Codes sind für viele der Wildbade-Touren faszinierende Kurzvideos abrufbar - all das macht »Alpine Swimming Österreich« zu einer wunderbaren Inspirationsquelle für alle Outdoor-Begeisterten, die sowohl das Wasser als auch die Berge lieben.

Nog eerder dan de eerste auto, fiets, tram of het motorvliegtuig was er de trein. Op 26 september 1825 maakte de stoomtrein in Engeland zijn entree. In ons land gebeurde dat ruim een decennium later toen een trein van de Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij uit Amsterdam naar Haarlem vertrok. De Arend, zoals de stoomlocomotief heette, haalde 38 kilometer per uur, een snelheid waar veel negentiende-eeuwers, gewend aan de trekschuit en de postkoets, enorm van schrokken.

In Het eerstvolgende station is… belichten treinfans Wim Daniëls en Suzanne Voets de geschiedenis van het reizen met de trein vanuit tal van invalshoeken. Van stationsgebouwen en treininterieurs tot het spoorboekje en het eerste treinkaartje, en van de bijnamen van treinen en lijnen tot de komst van de koninklijke wachtkamer, het roken en eten in de trein, vrouwen- en stiltecoupés, en de mededelingen voor de reizigers. Een heerlijk overzichtswerk vol verhalen, weetjes, lijstjes en nostalgie voor treinfans en reislustige lezers.

DRAKENSBERG CENTRAL: This double-sided A1-sized map is the second of three maps in the latest edition of our famous “Slingsby” Drakensberg map series. Side One covers the area from Injesuthi southwards through the Giants Castle Game Reserve to Highmoor and Mkhomazi Wilderness. Side Two details Highmoor itself and the Mkhomazi Wilderness, including Lotheni and Kamberg. The map is printed on Duraflex waterproof material and is packaged in a plastic pocket.

The map is printed on Duraflex waterproof material, tear resistant and is packaged in a plastic pocket.

We can proudly claim that this is the best and most definitive hiking map of the Central Drakensberg ever produced.

The Cape to Addo map series covers the southern parts of the Western Cape of South Africa in a series of eight highly detailed maps, printed on four sheets of A1 durable paper.

We start in Cape Town in the west and move along the southern coast through the Overberg, Winelands, Garden Route, Klein Karoo R62, Baviaanskloof to eventually arrive in the Addo National Park up to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) in the east.

The maps are highly detailed and well researched. Our map scale is 1:200 000 which allows us to show a lot of detail including minor gravel roads, hiking trails, farm boundaries and points of interest which are relevant to self-drive tourists.

The size of the paper is kept small enough to allow this to be the perfect road tripping map. We use Duraflex paper and print two maps per sheet of A1 paper, making this a four-sheet series. Each map sheet is individually packed in a plastic protective sleeve.

The maps are perfect for day drives, overlanding or just doing road trips in your sedan, 4WD or motorbike along our beautiful southern coast, Klein Karoo and parts of the proper Karoo. Mountain passes form a prominent feature in this area, and these are indicated together with scenic route options. As with other Tracks4Africa maps, these maps include drive times over and above driving distances. Adventure bikers will be pleased to know that minor gravel roads are included together with various accommodation options.

The map has a relief background onto which farm boundaries, protected areas and other geographical features are shown.

For each town we indicate what basic services are offered, e.g. fuel, shops, camping accommodation. We also show the facilities and activities of the various nature reserves.

These two Maps – the SC5 & SC6 : George to Kareedouw, are dominated by the famous Garden Route, but it also includes lesser-known counterparts like the Langkloof Valley and the Baviaanskloof wilderness area, which is popular with adventure seekers on foot, MTB, adventure bike and 4WD. The map covers an area from the Karoo to coast which makes for some very diverse landscapes and stunning mountain passes. The coastline between George and Plettenberg Bay has some of the most stunning beaches in South Africa and the Indian Ocean ensures that it is much warmer to swim here than further west.

Expect lush green forest areas and deep valleys along the Garden Route between George and Storms River Mouth. Drive the famous Seven Passes Road between George and Knysna to experience a true forest meander, built by Thomas Bain. The Otter Hiking trail is possibly one of our most famous multi day hikes between Storms River Mouth and Nature’s Valley.

The Garden Route is packed with offerings to tourists. The famous Knysna lagoon and heads can be explored by boat cruise or get your adrenalin fix with the world’s highest bridge bungy jump at Bloukrans bridge near Nature’s valley. You have not camped until you pitched your tent at either Ebb & Flow in Wilderness or right in front of the massive waves at Storms River Mouth.

As the name suggests, these two maps, printed on either side of a single sheet of Duraflex paper, stretch from George in the west to Kareedouw in the east. The coastline forms the southern boundary and to the north it includes places like Klaarstroom, Willowmore and Steytlerville which are in the Karoo.

- Key areas of interest include the Garden Route between George and Storms River Mouth, Baviaanskloof wilderness area, Langkloof Valley and parts of the Klein Karoo.

- Prominent towns include George, Knysna, Willowmore, Uniondale, Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay, Storms River, Steytlerville and Kareedouw.

This double-sided map is the third of three maps in the latest edition of our famous “Slingsby” Drakensberg map series.

Side One covers the area from Lotheni southwards through Vergelegen and the Mkhomazi Wilderness to the Sani Pass and Cobham.

Side Two continues southwards through the Mzimkhulu Wilderness to Garden Castle, and from there to Bushman’s Nek and the Sehlabathebe National Park.

The map is printed on Duraflex waterproof material, tear resistant and is packaged in a plastic pocket.

We can proudly claim that this is the best and most definitive hiking map of the Southern Drakensberg ever produced.

The Overberg is one of the premier tourist regions of South Africa. Here the Cape Fold Mountains march eastward from Sir Lowry’s Pass, a rugged backdrop to this old Cape landscape of farmsteads, gravel passes and unspoiled views. Delightful towns await you – historic Swellendam, McGregor and the wine farms of the Bonnievale valley, Hermanus and the fishing villages beyond. Missions, beaches littered with shipwreck sites, whales trolling the surf — all kinds of wonders await you!

This double sided, full-relief map covers the whole of the official Overberg Tourism Region.

Side one extends from Somerset West along the coast to Cape Hangklip, Hermanus thence to Cape Agulhas and on eastwards to Port Beaufort/Witsand and the Breede River, then north to Heidelberg, Barrydale and Montagu. From Robertson the map extends west to Villiersdorp and back to Stellenbosch.

Side two includes enlarged inset maps of 24 of the larger towns in the region, at the greatly-enlarged scale of 1:25 000, or 4cm to the kilometre.
