Sight-seeing does not have to be focused on monumental sites like the Eiffel tower only. Learning about interesting places starts when you step outside the threshold of your home. We can ourselves write guidebooks about the attractions of regions not discovered yet by mass tourist industry, and our car may turn out to be the best companion in traveling to hardly accessible places. Because off-road has many images.
Each of the following routes has been described with a track for a GPS Garmin unit and a paper roadbook, which also includes description of all interesting places and historic sites located along the route. All routes are appropriate for 4x4 cars, most of them also for motorcycles, ordinary cars and campervans (with diversions for unpaved road sections). Each described route is available for sale.

It comprises 315 waypoints (characteristic points on the way), partially described with short notes, as well as 35 tracks. It takes three weeks to travel it all traveling at a reasonable tempo. The waypoints describe places necessary for an independent tourist to travel with a backpack across India. It includes hotels, good restaurants, railway stations and bus terminals, places of special interest, historic sites, wild beaches on the ocean coast, etc. The tracks may be useful for navigation in large cities, for sight-seeing places such as Hampi, where historic ruins are spread over hectares of plantations, jungle and fields; they may also be useful for navigation when traveling from one place to another, when taking a bus, a taxi or a riksha, or when renting a moped to penetrate fishermen villages along the Kerala coast.

południowe INDIE




      This route was initially created in 2006 and has been modified several times for the needs of five commercial trips with our 4x4 clients. It comprises 728 waypoints (characteristic points on the way), some of them are described with short notes; it also contains 28 tracks of various quality, including 4 sight-seeing tours in Fes. On average, it takes 8 to 10 days to travel all this route; it is ca. 2500 km. The complete route also includes loop tracks (several short loops and one long), which may be used as additional routes. For example, instead of going from Fes to Martil along the main road, you can travel across eastern part of the Rif Mountains, the town Ketama, and than along a picturesque road on the Mediterranean Sea coast. The route starts in Ceuta (a Spanish enclave in Africa, where you can get by a ferryboat from Algeciras in Spain), then leads to Martil, which is a Moroccan holiday resort on the coast. Next it crosses the wild areas of the Rif and the Middle Atlas Mountains towards the Hammada du Draa, near Erfoud. Finally, a loop road leads via Erg Chebbi to Rissani, and then further across the Amellago Canyon and the Toudra Gorge, toward the High Atlas range. To return north, the way leads along the main roads via Fes. The total route covers the north-western part of Morocco.

This route can be traveled in total by a 4x4 car with AT tyres (min. diameter 31'') or by a "light enduro" motorcycle. There may be problems to cross some sections in the mountains in early spring or late autumn due to heavy rains, which may turn mountain paths into clay and muddy extreme sections. Moreover, in springtime the water level in rivers may be high (especially in the Rif Mountains). The route contains several waypoints indicating hotels or campsites, however, most of the accommodation is planned in the wild, in the mountains or on the dessert. The best time of the year to travel this route is the beginning of April or the beginning of October. The route does not provide for detours for the most challenging sections in the area of Erg Chebbi (it is important for motorcycle riders), but do not expect any extreme off-road, either.

ROADBOOK - WHAT IS IT?
      A road book is the route description in a form of schematic images. Each square (field) of a road book presents one junction and it indicates in which direction you should go (some squares also describe places special of special interest). The stretches between junctions represented in subsequent squares lead along the main road as indicated by the road signs. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! : it means that when you get to a junction and it is not described in the road book, you should proceed along the main road; if the main road turns left, you also have to turn left; if you travel on a two-lane road (for example, in Prague) and one of the lanes branches, you should go along the left (main) lane (internal). Sometimes distances between subsequent squares can be several dozen kilometres, so if you miss one junction, then you may lose a lot of time. All squares in the road book are described with numbers and signs. The road book includes a legend of all signs. The squares have a number reference in the top left corner - that is the subsequent number of the square. In the top right corner there is the reference to the waypoint number corresponding to the given square in the GPS file. In the middle, at the top of the square, there is information about the distance from the previous square; it is given in meters with accuracy of 50 meters (according to GPS indications; remember: standard car meters usually give slightly higher values). There are many standards of making road books. The way described above is one of the most popular and the easiest. For example, the POZNAN-PRAGUE route includes over 220 squares for navigation, which are included on 9 A-4 size pages.
