Until the Velvet Revolution in Eastern Europe it was a physical and ideological border between two blocks which conceived each other as enemies. Not only were many neighbouring states divided, but Germany itself was divided into east and west. Today there are hardly any reminders that the wall ever existed.   The border in Germany was 1,400 km long. The former death strip was composed of 3.000 km of fences, car-trenches for 730 km, 830 observation towers, the brightly lit roads, walls and bunkers – most of it is gone.

In this revised edition, we have expanded the area of coverage to include the portion of Russia known as the Far East Republic and the eastern portions of Siberia (in January, we released Siberia itself). Lets start with the Kamchatka peninsula itself. This is a very interesting adventure travel destination, famous for its geothermal geysers and its isolation from the rest of Russia.

ITMB wegenkaarten en wandelkaarten kenmerken zich door het kleurgebruik waarbij zo de nadruk wordt gelegd op de natuurkundige aspecten van het land of de streek.

Natuurlijk vind je ook de 'gewone' zaken als wegennet, spoorwegen, vliegvelden, ferrys, toeristische bezienswaardigheden en nationale parken er op terug..
