Heide, Harz und Hafen

A very large 1:2 map of northern Germany, from the snow-capped Brocken in the Harz down to the Baltic coast. A winding river crosses the gently rolling Lower Saxon plain, past forests, meadows and quiet lakes, and flows into the real outer Schlei with its bays, spits and narrow sea access. Most of the land is flat and buildable, so there is plenty of room for towns, farmland and long rail lines, while the mountain and the coast add scenery and challenge.

This map at the start has some oil wells and fish placed at the bottom, and not within any of the lakes to keep it realistic.
