The frame (RODALM) is shown for illustrative purposes only.

The map is at a 1:40,000 scale, where 1 cm on the map corresponds to 400 meters in reality. It features contour lines at 10-meter intervals, with shaded relief illuminated from 315° (northwest) at a 45° sun angle. Terrain, peaks, hiking trails, huts, shelters, lakes, and rivers are depicted in a way that enables quick orientation and a clear understanding of the landscape.

The map allows orientation using:
A geographic coordinate grid (latitude/longitude) with divisions every 1 arc minute, labeled every 3 minutes, with each minute subdivided into 12 arc seconds;
A Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid with 1,000-meter spacing, superimposed on the terrain.

Additional elements include:
Legend;
List of the ten highest peaks;
Scale bar;
Slope diagram for calculating the average slope of a selected segment;
Diagram showing true north, magnetic declination and the deviation of the UTM grid from true north.

The map deliberately includes only carefully selected cartographic elements to achieve clarity and focus.
