About this app

This app only works with a subscription. You are welcome to try out the app at a reduced introductory price. In preparation, please read our FAQ on the kartoguide website.

Explore the Harz with lovingly designed, content-rich maps for hiking, mountain biking, cycling and gravel biking produced on site. Over 270 tour suggestions offer an easy introduction to the extensive network of trails in the Harz.

Interaction with our printed cards
Schmidt-Buch-Verlag Wernigerode has been producing leisure maps for the Harz region for almost 30 years. In contrast to many classic outdoor apps, we do not use basemaps from third-party providers such as Openstreetmap, but rather generate the maps - printed and digital - entirely from our own database.
Despite electronic technology and a dynamic display, the app's maps are designed in our own style familiar from print products.
Plan your individual routes using the print editions of our maps and go on tour with the app! This makes hybrid navigation with a map and smartphone a convenient interplay for you: swap the medium – not the content!

The right cards for your activities:
- Basic map for purists
- Hiking map with signposted trails and further recommendations
- MTB map with trail levels and descriptions (only Hochharz and south of Goslar)
- Bicycle map for touring bikes and gravel bikes

Road closures/notes
On the maps we show temporarily closed paths, bridges, observation towers, etc. as well as current information that is helpful when preparing for the tour. Our editorial team updates this information regularly. They are also displayed daily on your offline map in the background if you have an existing WiFi connection.

Search
Our search function helps you to quickly find stamp locations, mountain and cliff names, sights and many other prominent points on the map. The tours that match a search query are also displayed here.

Legends
Content-specific legends (button “i” at the top right) explain the respective map information in detail, which you can use to plan countless tours of your own.
Our map contents:
- Signposted main hiking trails as a dashed red line with numbering and marking
- Marked circular hiking trails as a continuous red line
- other hiking trails as red dotted lines
