Kompass Walking Map 841 Sauerland 1, Hochsauerland, Arnsberger Forest

This Kompass Wandelkaart 841 Sauerland 1 is a detailed folding map designed for hikers exploring the Hochsauerland and Arnsberger Wald regions. It’s aimed at helping you plan routes, find trails and landmarks, and stay on track while you’re out in the woods.

The map is printed in German and uses a 1:50 000 scale, offering a good balance between coverage area and detail. It shows contour lines, trail markings and points of interest clearly, which makes it easier to judge elevation changes and choose routes that suit your pace and experience. Having the region laid out at this scale means you won’t miss side paths or small features that matter when you’re navigating off the beaten track.

With a 1:50 000 scale, 1 centimetre on the map equals 500 metres on the ground. This scale is common for hiking maps because it gives enough detail to identify minor trails and terrain features without needing to switch sheets too often. You’ll get a reliable sense of distance and gradients, helping you estimate hiking times and prepare for climbs or descents.
