Not just from A to B: an outdoor planner that understands nature
Route planners look for the shortest or fastest way. Outside, other things count: the forest you walk through, the light on the summit, the morning fog, the mushrooms by the path and the time until dark. That is exactly what this map knows – at every point, for every day.
What is here?
Tap any point: weather for the next three days, sunrise and sunset, fog and rime, protected areas and the nearest summit or hut.
The forest beside
With a free account you see at every point how much forest grows there and which tree species – larch, beech, spruce, birch and more.
Loop from here
One tap and the planner builds a loop on real hiking paths – with elevation profile, walking time and car park start.
Navigate here
From where you are to the summit, hut or viewpoint – with voice navigation and an offline map for dead spots.
Back before dark
At the chosen point, the time until dark counts down – so you can plan the way back calmly. Or be at the top right at golden hour.
Ideas for this area
Without a selection, the map suggests what is worth it here right now – viewpoint walk, photo tour, mushroom round – each with the day that suits best.
Mushroom chance on the way
With a free account you can show today’s chance for your favourite mushroom – zoomed in down to single patches of forest.
For photographers
Viewpoints, summits and lakes with photo weather. For a photo tour starting at blue hour, jump straight into the planner.
