Today I’m using Alltrails and also Trailforks to find hiking and mtb trails. However, I’m also trying to replace as many proprietary apps and services with open source alternatives. So, what is the best open source alternatives to Alltrails and Trailforks?
I have seen Wanderer which looks like what I’m looking for, but perhaps there are other alternatives with more users/trails or something else that makes it better?
Endurain is, as I understand it, for self-hosting which is nice but I also want to see trails that other people have uploaded in order to be inspired and find good trails when I visit a new place.
Are there any other sites I should consider?
I haven’t used alltrails since they started requiring login. I generally find trail information from the website or in person visitor center of the relevant park/conservation district/forrest service/whatever. Sometimes I’ll map out those points on Organic Maps manually if I know I’ll need to reference the map while out of cell signal.
Yeah, I usually take a photo of the trails on the information board or at the visitor center but in Sweden we are free to wander everywhere so there is no official info about many of the trails here. Of course all big trails can be found online and many other exist in some way on Internet but that information is scattered.
