Many legends and myths surround the Harz Mountains. This is no surprise: impenetrable forests, deep gorges and a legendary mountain have inspired not only Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The Harz is the northernmost low mountain range in Germany. This is where Atlantic low-pressure systems first encounter an obstacle on the continent. The Brocken, which towers above the Harz, is therefore known for its weather records. From here, you can enjoy a wide view of the countryside in good weather. The fairytale castle in Wernigerode is also easy to spot.
Come with us to a region of myths and legends!
Orthophotoreliefs are 3D relief maps printed with aerial photographs (orthophotos). These can mainly be used in scale ranges between 1:10,000 and 1:500,000. Relief shading and coloured elevation layers make the relief particularly clear on these maps.
Settlement areas, water networks, towns, route networks, road networks, mountain names with elevation data and international airports can be found on every map from georelief.
The main advantages are:
- very realistic
- maximum information density
- High recognition value in nature
- cartographically highlighted objects very accurate
The 3D maps from georelief are therefore characterised by a very detailed, visually appealing impression. The use of the third dimension creates completely new perspectives that no computer can convey!
