I generally don’t like medieval maps, but THIS is awesome
HEIL HELVETIA 🇨🇭♥️, anyway
An interesting map, incredible to think the effort it took to make, and you realise how much we take things for granted now. Spotted a mistake that could have been spotted even back then I reckon; Morgarten is at the southern end of Lake Ägeri towards Sattel not the northern end where the Lorze flows down to Baar thats Unterägeri. Maybe it was done on purpose? Can’t have the Austrians know all the tricks?
