Route planning with nature knowledge
Any route planner can plan a hiking route. Waldschatzfinder also shows you what actually matters along the way: mushroom chances, plants in season, weather and light at every point – free and ad-free, for anyone who wants more than plain navigation.
The route planner that also knows what’s left and right of the path. And that usually matters far more than the fastest way from A to B.
Three tools, one connection: on the hiking map you discover where to go, in the Waldschatz planner that becomes your route planning with weather and mushroom forest along the way, and in community tours you get inspired by finished routes from others or share your own.
What do I do where?
The hiking map and the Waldschatz planner belong together: on the map you choose where to go – in the planner it becomes your route, which can also guide you. Every button like “Follow this trail” or “Loop from here” takes you across with everything you picked – and nature and fitness shows what else is on the site.
Hiking map
Discover and choose
- Tours for today near you – matching time, weather and daylight
- Tap marked trails: length, ascent, elevation profile, walking time, condition
- Tap any point: weather, light, time until dark, forest, getting there
- Save and share trails, save an area offline, see your position on the way
- With an account: collect peaks, huts and mushroom hotspots – the planner joins them into your loop
Waldschatz planner
Plan, navigate, take along
- Calculate a loop or a one-way route – or take over a trail from the hiking map
- Adjust the route: drag points, tap a hut, summit or mushroom hotspot to add it
- Weather for your day, matching mushroom forest, herbs and berries along the way
- Navigate with voice prompts, even without signal – plus PDF and GPX
Nature and fitness
More than mushrooms
- Hiking and mountaineering: summits, huts, via ferratas and viewpoints in your region
- Turnaround recorder: records your hike and shows the way back to the start
- Families in nature: kid-friendly trails, safety, forest games and an age guide
- Preserving mushrooms: drying, pickling, freezing – making use of the tour afterwards
Frequently asked questions
What does "route planning with nature knowledge" mean?
A regular route planner gets you from A to B. Waldschatzfinder also shows you what is actually interesting along the way: where mushrooms are growing right now, which plants are in season, how weather and light will be at every point of the route – with real species maps and calendars instead of plain waypoints.
Is Waldschatzfinder also a regular route planner?
Yes, for route planning and navigation it works just as well, free and without ads. The difference: most route planners know your route, but not the forest around it. Waldschatzfinder combines both – route planner and nature knowledge in one.
How do I find a hiking route with mushroom and plant knowledge?
The hiking map shows mushroom chances and plant finds right on the map. The Waldschatz planner turns that into a finished route with a matching mushroom forest along the way. Community tours show finished routes from other users with exactly this information at every waypoint.
Can I also plan a tour for kids with it?
Yes. The Waldschatz planner has its own kid-friendly suggestions, and community tours have a dedicated filter for tours specifically suitable for kids – short, little elevation gain, no difficult sections.
