Publisher Description: The Countries of the Balkans wallmap features thousands of place-names, political boundaries, national parks, and major infrastructure networks such as roads, canals, ferry routes, and railroads. The region's diverse terrain is detailed through shaded relief, coastal bathymetry, and symbols for water features and other landforms. Elevations of major peaks as well as depth soundings are expressed in meters. The signature Classic style map uses a bright, easy to read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. The map covers Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Slovenia, as well as the outlying border countries of Greece, Italy, Slovakia, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine. It also includes listings for the counties of Hungary and Romania along with their respective capitals and the administrative divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the fames can be much lighter and less expensive.
