The schematic representation of the path connecting reactant (R) and product (P). Milestones (green curves) are hypersurfaces that are normal to the curvilinear reaction coordinate. In the practical application of the string method the hypersurfaces are replaced by hyperplanes (red straight lines) locally orthogonal to the line connecting the reactants and products.
