Kungsleden: Ammarnäs - Hemavan Calazo Calazo | 9789188335340

We at Calazo have developed five maps on a scale of 1:50,000 with a unique wealth of detail that cover the entire Kungsleden stretch between Abisko in the north to Hemavan in the south. This map covers the southernmost part between Ammarnäs and Hemavan, but the section also includes the entire mountain areas around Ammarfjället and north of Norra Storfjället. Should you continue your hike north towards Jäkkvik via Adolfström, you can supplement with the map Kungsleden: Kvikkjokk–Adolfström 1:50,000. This map is one of the maps we call the new generation mountain map. This means a wealth of detail that is not found in other maps of the same area. The terrain information is based on airborne laser scanning. In addition to completely new height curves with an equidistance of 10 meters, watercourses and slopes, among other things, appear in a significantly better way than before. The trails are reproduced with greater accuracy, as are sinkholes, buildings, stony ground and difficult-to-access vegetation. We have come to the conclusion that the best material for a map is Tyvek®. It is made of a synthetic fiber that makes the map completely insensitive to water and very tear-resistant. A Tyvek map will not tear in the folds or lose color when you use it.
