Komoot: Tips and tricks for planning tours

Planning a hiking or cycling route with Komoot can be done in just a few steps. All you have to do is set the start and finish points. You can then put together your desired route:

• Stopover: You might also want to make one or two stopovers on your tour. To do this, simply click in the search field and then enter the location through which your route should take you.
• Adjust route: Additionally, you can also adjust your route using Drag and Drop . To do this, simply move your route by touching it with the mouse and dragging it over the map. Once you have chosen your desired route, let go.
• Drive or run: In the menu you can choose whether you want to complete a route on foot or by bike. If you own an e-bike, you can also specify this separately. This pre-selection is important because you are faster with an e-bike and can of course also climb climbs more easily.

In addition to Komoot, there are a variety of other practical websites and apps. From specialized platforms like Outdooractive and AllTrails to more general services like Google Maps, they provide route planning and navigation features for hikers, cyclists and adventurers of all kinds.

• Outdooractive : A popular alternative to Komoot is the website Outdooracitve , which offers a variety of hiking and cycling trails worldwide. The platform allows users to plan, share and download routes, as well as receive information about attractions and accommodation along the route.
