Germany - Rheinland-Pfalz - Dahn und Hauenstein

Posted by JND on 4 April 2010 in English. Last updated on 6 May 2010.

Last weekend we have been to the "Dahner Felsenland" an area full of red sandstone with lots of nice cimbing possibilities and also lots of nice walks. We did only two tours. One around Dahn the "Dahner Felsenpfad" and half of the "Hauensteiner Schusterpfad" due to rain and time restrictions.

The mapping of the area rose questions:
1) How to map solitary stone formations (as peaks, as attractions?)
2) How to map very demanding ways with about 20 cm width and steep ascents?
3) How to map arrow targets and aiming areas distributed in the woods?

There are lots of paths still missing on the map and not all of the stone formations are named. So in addition to beautiful landscape there is some white space for the OSM mapper...

Germany - Schleswig-Holstein - Sylt

Posted by JND on 4 April 2010 in English.

Again a week on the island of Sylt and lots of tracks uploaded as GPX and edited into the map. Now Kampen is really existing - a village that has been neglected for some reason. But there is still much to do and even complete roads are missing.

So if You travel there, don't forget Your GPS device.

On the other hand - don't do that! So there are more chances for me to spend a good holiday and leave some traces on the map ;-)
