This collection of maps made by Schubert & Franzke Publishing House is a bold attempt to bring bike trails in The Land of the Fortified Churches together in a single map. Bukovina is a historical region of great tourism potential (cultural and ethnographic). The map includes 35 cycling trails, marked on 19 leaflets, which can be used individually in the field on a support located on the handlebar or as such, in a plastic protection. The proposed trails are 30-80 km long, avoid heavy roads as much as possible, and take you on roads or paths that can generally be cycled.

The area covered by this guide, located on the administrative territories of Sibiu, Brasov and Mures counties, surprises us with a varied and delightful landscape. In this special natural setting is the heritage left by the Saxons in Transylvania, fortified churches, castles, mansions and fortresses, as well as villages with specific architecture, the last authentic medieval landscape in Europe. Without considering the medieval cities of Sighisoara and Sibiu, there are four monuments included on the UNESCO world heritage list that you are going to discover for yourselves.

The Land of the Fortified Churches cycling map is numbered MB06, being the sixth in the series of bicycle touring maps.

The map was edited using the latest mapping techniques and it was printed on moisture-resistant paper. It is easy to read and easy to use due to the cartographic representation styles, specific to Schubert & Franzke, and to the practical structuring of the information it contains. Everything is at hand, just where necessary, being useful to cycling enthusiasts.

All trails are based on GPS tracks. These are described in detail in Romanian and English, some trails having representative images attached. Each trail has a technical box containing: trail checked on site, profile with significant landmarks, difficulty, length, total ascent, total descent, etc. The map also contains a UTM grid, a metric coordinate system, being useful in the rapid measurement of distances on the map. Shading and contour lines highlight the terrain, facilitating orientation.
