GPS offroad tour book Albania
Book including data download
For this GPS off-road tour book Albania, Sabine and Burkhard spent two months on adventurous slopes in Albania with an off-road vehicle and roof tent. The result is a total of 26 off-road routes in the most remote areas of Europe. Each route was driven, recorded, described and documented photographically by the two of them themselves.
26 detailed off-road route descriptions on 220 pages await you in this travel guide. Over adventurous mountain passes that require driving skills, through deep forests where bears and wolves live or along beautiful rivers. With many campsites in secluded nature.
In the appendix to the route description there is a waypoint list that provides guidance for the passenger who cannot see the GPS device. A level of difficulty (SG) is indicated for each route, which makes it easier to make your own assessment in conjunction with the vehicle classes (FZK). Sabine and Burkhard rated the routes in the form of stars, which incorporated our impression of driving fun, scenic beauty and experience value. These stars are of course very subjective.
Tips and tricks for off-road driving and background information round off the off-road travel guide.
Data download
With the data download you get for each route:
- all GPS tracks and waypoints (GPX)
There are three subfolders in the “GPS data” folder. The route, track and waypoint list for each off-road route are stored in duplicate. On the one hand as a kml file for display on Google Earth and as a gpx file, the exchange format for all navigation programs and GPS devices.
Vehicle classes (FZK) 1-4
There are always questions about our classification of vehicle classes. This is how we divide:
FZK-1 off-road vehicle (Defender, Cruiser, G, etc.) almost in original condition.
FZK-2 pickup with cab, 4x4Sprinter, Bremach, Daily4x4 etc.
KZK-3 trucks up to 12 tons, Unimog, 12M18, 1017, TGL etc.
FZK-4 heavy trucks, Zetros 6×6, MAN KAT etc.
The transitions are fluid. A light, compact Unimog can also travel on FZK-2 routes that may not be possible for a pickup with an extremely heavy, high cabin and poor embankment and ramp angles and this pickup belongs more to category 3.
There are 26 routes in the Albania off-road tour book.
These are all passable with FZK 1+2.
10 routes are passable with FZK 3 and 5 routes with FZK 4.

Sabine and Burkhard Koch
220 pages, 2nd edition 2020
Language: German
Sabine and Burkhard, both born in 1965, have been traveling together since they were 16. On one of her first trips, the desire to be independent of time and to live mobile arose. They have been modern nomads since 2004: They traveled with their snow groomer around Africa and the Middle East for a few years, drove overland to India and lived in a Land Cruiser in Australia for two years. They have covered around 600,000 km in more than 80 countries in various four-wheel drive vehicles. They document their travel experiences in films, lectures and books.
