This legend describes the Freizeitkarte with the theme fzk-outdoor-contrast. The legend is also valid for the theme fzk-outdoor-soft.
Style:
The theme contains three different styles. The styles make a pre-selection of features and design. Style-related options are visible only when selected.
With the options, the map can be adapted to your own needs.
- Outdoor: High contrast presentation for various outdoor activities.
- Bicycle: Optimized for bicycle and mountain bike.
- City: Complete public transport shown per default, all buildings less intense.

- Forest covers a significant area of many countries (in Germany it is 30%) and therefore is good for rough orientation.
- (Lattice) hatching is for areas with access restrictions (mil. area, construction sites, power plants, allotments, private parking, ...) used.

0 = No quality grade is set for this path.
Quality grades 4, 5
4 = unpaved path, consisting mainly of soft material, plant growth along the middle of the way (e.g. grass, sand or mud path).

- Leisure time activities in mountains require a certain amount of experience and hold danger. Basing only on this map no mountain hiking should be planed.
- Agricultural, country or dirt road of grade 2-5 are generally not suitable for road transport. Use restrictions are therefore not reported separately.
