STANDARD HIKE AND CYCLE THEME
Important news from mapdate 1st of July 2015 on:
The colors of regional and local cycle and hike routes changed:
- Regional hike and cycle routes which were rendered darkblue are now lightblue
- Local hike and cycle routes which were rendered lightblue are now darkblue
Why?:
The color code of these routes were derived from Andy Allens OpenCycleMaps.
However, Tobias changed this in his latest Elevate3 Theme and it clearly proved that this is the better solution by far cause dark color are better to be seen on a smartphone providing a much better overview at low zoom rates.
So, easy enough, I copied Tobias’s solution 😉

Color code of the paths (highway=path|footway), thin solid line (dashed for most difficult paths)
- —————————— Gray: no informations about difficult available
- ———————— Orange: hiking way without any problems
- ———————— Blue: mountain hike, you need good condition and equipment
- ———————— Red: demanding, steep mountain/alpine hike, sometimes easy scrambling may be possible
- — — — — — —Black: demanding alpine path or fixed rope route, some scrambling envolved, only for experienced hikers/climbers. It is required to refer to local Alpine/Climbing guides bevore you go on these paths!!
Assignement to the codes provided by OpenStreetmap:

dav_scale | 0/T1/yellow | T2/blue | T3/red | T3/black |
sac_sale | 0/T1 | T2 | T3 | >=T4 |
via_ferrata |
Priority of the scales:
- ways tagged as “via_ferrata_scale=*” (except via_ferrata_scale=0*) or “sport=via_ferrata” are _always_ rendered black dashed.
- The sac_scale have priority over the dav_scale
