Riding Europe on a fan-produced map

The European coninent seems to be a hot topic in the fan-community of Ticket to Ride. Klaus de Groote and Dominik de Groote from Altdorf in Bavaria have produced a new map extension to Spiel des Jahres 2004 winner Zug um Zug. It is the fourth fan-produced expansion map focussing on Europe.
The map
It's humongous!
The map comes on 20 pages and spans not only Europe (from Iceland to Volgograd) but also the African North Coast (e.g. cities like Algier, Tunis and Tripolis) . The looks of the map are really nice: it shows both a contour profile as well as the current political borders. The authors have even made it usable for the colorblind. The map is playable under the original game rules (i.e. no tunnels, ferries or stations as introduced in official Ticket to Ride Europe).
