We know it well: the island of Elba has an incredibly dense and highly technical network of trails. Many maps show the entire island on a large scale with outdated routes without proper MTB classification.
Elba Trailmaster, based on 15 years of biking and trekking experience on the Elbe, has cataloged all the routes currently accessible and viable, classifying them by colors of difficulty. All on a super scale 1: 12500, with some sectors in additional detail 1: 7500 - 1: 5000.
The arrows on the paths indicate the main direction of travel and the maximum points in the relief points make it easier to recognize the development in altitude.
Since 2018 the Trails of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park / CAI have been redistributed and numbered, they are shown in full on the maps (red-white-red numbers).
The complete pack includes, in addition to the 3 maps of the 3 sectors of the island, also the trackbook in four accompanying languages. The trackbook describes each track with route, technical difficulty, panorama and overall evaluation, divided into the four sectors and areas of the island. Also included is a list with an overview of the best Tracks.
The maps also contain various important topographical details:
Extended geographic names
Peaks, valleys, saddles, ridges, valleys, rivers, ditches, lakes
Archaeological sites, shepherds' goats, towers, lighthouses, churches, chapels, monasteries
Campsites, selection of hotels, lodges, agritourisms, wineries

You can find the maps at one of the 3 locations of Elba MTB or online.
