True knowledge of an area such as Liguria necessarily passes through the visit of the natural environments that better than anything they are able to tell the story of places and people. A walk along a path surrounded by a forest, a hike along a rocky coast overlooking the sea, or through the terraced cultivated by man, literally descending into all aspects to taste. This is hiking, exploring slow leaving time to observe and think. All this is contained in the topographic maps for hiking "mini MAPS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES," which can be found on the site http://www.mappeliguria.com . These color cards complete, detailed and updated with reference scale 1:25.000. On each card, in addition to the usual geographic information are also specific information about: Hiking trails on foot, bike, horseback and mountain climbing with skis or snowshoes, metalled roads and trails facilities; Rocky facilities where you can enjoy the 'Climbing; Waterways suitable to be let down by streams or kayaks and canoes. The cards are also complemented by both its natural features and information more generic nature of tourism as an indication of: Parks, Nature Reserves, sanctuaries, scenic spots, ancient mills and old farms, etc..
The author first backpackers on foot or by mountain bike, long hikes in our mountains, and then meticulously lists every track, every emotion, every small detail on the paper designed and implemented progressively as "explore" the territory. Currently, the "mini MAPS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES" present and available on the website does not yet cover the whole of Liguria, but the author is willing to complete them and keep them updated so as to be truly reliable.
On http://www.mappeliguria.com the author has made available to users even a complete set of 6 plates of maps, the "mini MAPS CAR", made by the author and specially designed to move along the Ligurian territory in car, motorbike and bicycle, and very useful to reach the various areas of hiking maps "mini MAPS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. All the various boards of the two sets of cards are freely displayed, but is not allowed either to download or print. An important project and perhaps a little ambitious, which is aimed at a type of tourism slower, more sustainable and more environmentally friendly compared to the hit and run vehicle, an initiative worthy of note to promote our country and our traditions.
