National Geographic’s map of Germany is as attractive as it is functional. Rendered in the Classic style with colorful, clearly defined international borders, shaded relief, and easy-to-read fonts, this map includes thousands of place names. Major infrastructure such as airports, major roadways, canals, high-speed and passenger railroads, as well as oil fields and pipelines are noted. Coastal bathymetry on the North and Baltic seas is shown with depth curves and soundings. Coverage also includes Luxembourg and portions of Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

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 frames can be much lighter and less expensive.
