Retkikartat

Retkikartat, also known as "backpacking maps," are specialized maps designed for outdoor enthusiasts who engage in long-distance hiking, trekking, or backpacking. These maps are typically larger in scale and more detailed than standard topographic maps, providing comprehensive coverage of remote and less-traveled areas. Retkikartat are often used by experienced hikers and trekkers who require detailed information about terrain, elevation, trails, and points of interest.

These maps are usually printed on durable, waterproof materials to withstand the rigors of outdoor conditions. They often include additional features such as contour lines, elevation data, and symbols for various natural and man-made features. Some retkikartat also include cultural and historical information, making them valuable resources for those interested in the local history and geography.

Retkikartat are available for various regions around the world, including national parks, wilderness areas, and remote backcountry trails. They are typically produced by government agencies, private mapping companies, or dedicated cartographers who specialize in outdoor mapping. These maps are essential tools for planners, ensuring safe and enjoyable outdoor adventures.
