For Relief Track currently no live preview in the configurator. But: Simply note "Preview requested" in the comments field.

We'll send you a preview before production – can still be adjusted. This ensures everything fits perfectly.

Both variants on the same premium wooden base – the decision is purely a matter of presentation.

Larger formats (e.g., 40×40 cm, 56×84 cm) available on request – just contact us.

4 colors to choose from:

• White – bestseller, best light/shadow effects
• Light Grey – bestseller, elegant and timeless
• Anthracite – modern and high-contrast
• Black – striking and expressive

For Relief Track additionally: Track in red or white as contrast color.

Yes. In the configurator you can add a personalized laser engraving on the wooden base (from €9.90):

• Name or dedication
• Date (e.g., summit date, finisher time)
• Summit elevation or distance
• GPS coordinates
• Or your custom text

The engraving is professionally executed after ordering.

The 3D relief: Precision 3D printing from bio-based PLA – a sustainable plant-based plastic.

The base: Solid wood (26mm, oiled), choice of:

• Oak – from German forests, PEFC-certified
• Stone Pine – from Austria, with characteristic scent, FSC & PEFC-certified

Both wood types from sustainable forestry, by the carpenter.

Deliberate design decision: Monochrome reliefs look more premium and elegant – colored models quickly look cheap.

Technical reason: Colored 3D printing requires larger layer heights, resulting in less detail. Our monochrome reliefs have finer structures and sharper contours.

Visual effect: The uniform color creates natural light and shadow play that brings out the topography plastically. With colored models this effect is lost.

The color palette (white, light grey, anthracite, black) adapts to any interior and remains timeless.

Short answer: The preview shows only a rough approximation – the finished relief is MUCH more detailed!

Technical: The live 3D preview uses freely available data (~30m resolution) for quick display. For production we use high-resolution elevation data from surveying offices with accuracies up to 0.5m.

This is confirmed by our customers: "In the finished model everything is much more detailed than in the preview."

Maximum detail through:

• Professional data processing with high-resolution elevation data
• Precision 3D printing from bio-based PLA
• Every contour line is individually visible and tangible

The result: Millimeter-accurate topography – you can run your fingers along the ridges.

Very simple:

• Dust with soft, dry cloth or anti-static dusters
• Do not use harsh cleaning agents
• Do not store permanently in direct sunlight or high humidity
• For indoor use only

Note: Not suitable for children under 14 years.
