These panoramic views were taken during my three hikes along the whole route of the National Blue Trail since 2004 until today. The views are sorted a western-eastern sequence. If you click in the Contents window on the name of the panoramic view, you will jump directly onto the appropriate photo, or you can surf among the many dozen small views.
The size of the panoramic views are pretty big, it can reach the 3-4 MegaByte, so the download can be even many seconds, but it depends on the speed of the connection. If you draw the cursor on the 800-pixel wide sample pictures, you will see the size of the panoramic views in kiloBytes.
The panoramic views will open on a new page in the original size if you click on the sample pictures. I going to write comments to the panoramic views, what can you see in the pictures, where the interesting places, mountains are commented with their names. I know, the text worsens the overall effect of the panoramic views, so you can open these pictures if you click on the “JPG Extra” icons under the sample picture.
Currently, you can find 68 panoramic views on this page. I wish you a lot of fun with the views.
