How stupid of me!!!!! Ofcourse you are right.
I am now in the train from Lausanne back to Holland. We will be back early September to continue and will study the Switzerland app carefully.
Correct as you mentioned Switzerland. The map shows something beyond the national border, but only paths in Switzerland 🇨🇭 are marked with closures. That's why the French and Italian maps exist. These are adapted by these countries.
