Marking and signposting of Pindus Trail
Trail markings are categorized into two main categories, the route marking and the information marking. The materials we use have quality and durability certificates for particularly harsh weather conditions and we expect them to remain intact for at least 5 years from the date of installation.
The route marking consists of:
-
Route confirmation signs (reflective, two-tone)
-
Metal and wooden direction signs
-
Paint (two-color) on rocks and asphalt
-
Wooden crossing posts
-
The information marking consists of:
-
Metal and wooden location signs
-
Welcome and information signs (metal on wooden hanging web)
The confirmation markers are rectangular metal signs of dimension 12x7cm and are placed both ways at an interval of 50-100m on rocks, trees, walls, pebble pyramids and wooden posts. They are made of durable aluminum with a film coating that reflects lens light even from a long distance.
The direction signs are either metal or wooden-handmade and are mainly placed at intersections, on wooden posts, trees or stone walls.
The paint route confirmation is used in a few cases where mounting other hardware is impossible, or not allowed.
The location signs are either metal or wooden-handmade and are placed to mark (with a place name) places of cultural or environmental importance.
The welcome and information signs are large constructions measuring approximately 120x100 (and height approximately 200cm). These are wooden structures that are nailed to the ground. On them we place large metal signs with map and information, made of durable aluminum coated with a protective, reflective film.
