The Kompass Wandelkaart 451 Westlicher Harz is a hiking map that covers the western Harz region in central Germany. Printed in German, it is designed to help walkers plan and follow routes through this part of the Harz Mountains.
With its 1:50 000 scale, the map offers a useful balance between broad coverage and fine detail, making it easier to trace routes across varied terrain and stay oriented on both shorter day hikes and longer multi-day treks.
At a scale of 1:50 000, one centimetre on the map represents 500 metres on the ground. This level of detail helps you judge distances between key points and estimate walking times accurately, without losing sight of the wider landscape.
