Czech Tourist Club (KCT) is the publisher of walking maps covering the entire territory of the Czech Republic. These maps contain, besides walking and geographical information, drawings of all marked footpaths, cross-country-ski trails and cycle routes. The series of maps in the scale of 1:50 000 (the so called ‘green maps’) serve for walking and cross-country skiing. In view of the fact that KCT ensures the maintenance of all marked trails in the Czech Republic, these maps provide the most reliable information about their route. Apart from KCT, several other walking map publishers exist, whose series however do not cover the entire territory of the Czech Republic. The KCT walking maps can be bought via e-shop, and with the maps of other publishers can be bought from the existing network of bookshops.
