Presented in A3 format, with a spiral binding to give flat folding pages, the atlas is ideal for touring through Germany.

Plus, there is detailed tourist information, including scenic sites and routes highlighted.

Customer Reviews

Large but miserable
I ordered this map for my husband, who still likes to read maps to plan travel, rather than just use our navi. It was a big disappointment.

The maps are large, but the detail is sad. Country roads are rarely marked with their numbers, but there is a mass of unnecessary information, ie "Regenhutte" etc. I would rather know where I am, ie the number of the road, not where the nearest hut is. For that I would buy a local walking map IF I needed that information.

The index is absolutely unreadable without a magnifying glass. Not something I usually carry in the car, and yes, the map is over-large. Though, of course, enlarging the index would make it even bigger. Suggest dividing up into four detailed maps of Germany - with a decent overlap area between the individual books please. In trying to save pages, they have made this book irritating and unpleasant to use.

Poor, giant atlas
This is probably the worst road atlas I have ever used. It weighs a ton and is massive and unwieldy, too big even for convenient use as a passenger, glad I wasn't driving and navigating. Although the legend does have an English version not all of the symbols are included anyway, even in the German version. Hard to tell where exactly places are and there is so much writing, etc on the map pages that you can't always see what's (and where's) actually under it.
I've given it one star as there are plenty of city centre plans, although as with the rest of the atlas they've gone overboard in trying to show too much with the massive pages when it would be better to fit more onto one page.
Would throw it away only don't want the bin men to be off work with hernias.

Great Value German Road Atlas
Previous reviewer says it is all German - however at least the key has an English translation (as well as French).

It is superb value - on the back it says its RRP is £16.99. I weighed it and it is about 1.8kg - if I was to post it by the cheapest way (standard parcel) it would cost me just under £5 - and the atlas sells for only £3.99 (with free postage if you include other items to bump it up to £19)!

The atlas is large (about A3) and as well as covering Germany (1:150 000) it also has:

16 districts (1:100 000) - Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Duisburg/Bochum/Recklinghausen, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Koeln (Cologne), Leipzig, Mannheim/Ludwigshafen, Muenchen (Munich), Nuernberg, Stuttgart, Wuppertal;

16 towns/cities (1:20 000) Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Duesseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Kiel, Koeln (Cologne), Leipzig, Mannheim/Ludwigshafen, Muenchen (Munich), Nuernberg, Stuttgart.
