Maps
For planning purposes, the best general area map covering the entire Salzkammergut region and Dachstein is the Salzkammergut Berge Seen Trail map (1:90,000), available free at tourist offices throughout the region. At 1:50,000 the two-sheet set from Kompass, Salzkammergut (229 sheets 1 and 2) is very useful.
Local tourist offices also have some detailed hiking maps of their areas, which are definitely worth picking up. These include:
Fuschlseeregion (1:37,000) covering Walks 1–8
Naturerlebniskarte Mondseeland (1:35,000) covering Walks 1–4, 7 and 8
Ferienregion Traunsee (1:50,000) covering Walks 9–12
Naturerlebniskarte Bad Ischl (1:45,000) covering Walks 14 and 15
Naturerlebniskarte Ausseerland Salzkammergut (1:50,000) covering Walks 16–23
As far as more detailed maps go, the best ones to get are the AV (Alpenverein) 1:25,000 sheets – those covering some of the routes in this guide are as follows:
14 Dachstein
15/1 Totes Gebirge West
15/2 Totes Gebirge Mitte
