Stockholm 1:30 000

The skating map of Stockholm is the most advanced map ever made where the skater's needs are in focus. The map has been developed in close collaboration with Marten Ajne, one of Sweden's most experienced and knowledgeable skaters who, among other things, is the author of the reference work The Big Book on Long-Distance Skating and The Sprinter's Guide to Lake Malaren. Marten has processed more than fifty years of ice and weather data and combined this with the accumulated experience within the skating clubs in Malardalen. The results are presented here in the form of two maps on a scale of 1:30,000 of the most popular skating lakes near Stockholm. Extra care has been taken on the lakes' currents and weak areas, known flows and outflows. The map also includes recommended starting points, parking lots and suitable land passages. We have come to the conclusion that the best material for a map is Tyvek?. It is made of a synthetic fiber that makes the map completely insensitive to water and very tear-resistant. A Tyvek map does not break in the creases or lose color when you use it.
