The painted map is a hand-made work to the last detail made by man, not by machine or program. Of course, we also help with modern technology to make our maps as accurate as possible. We use a 3D model of the landscape as a basis for the painter.
Graphics and map processing is much more interesting for the eye of the tourist, but also the locals.

Painted map is a hand-made work of art, created by an artist down to the very last detail - there is no machine or software involved. Of course, we also use modern technology to make our maps as accurate as possible. Our painter refers to a software-generated 3D landscape model. The artist also uses standard maps, ortophotos and aerial photos taken from a low-flying airplane. Every house, road, creek and tree is then manually painted one by one, sometimes in the course of several months, to complete the map.
Main benefits of hand-painted maps are easy orientation, picturesque object representation and versatile application. Painted maps can be used for orientation, education or as a souvenir. It can highlight monuments or commercial businesses.
