Earlier quoted context omitted.

how else would the author make money out of freely available data, once this gains traction?

Are you against people profiting from their work to provide a useful service to others?

Since they're crowdsourcing, yes, at least without disclosing what commitments they'll make about freedom.

It's also just unfortunate to splinter things away from established open technologies.

Interesting list and a nice surprise to see hikes like these on HN. I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019 [1] and it was amazing.

If you have the time and the financial means to be able to drop everything for 6 months, go for it! You will make some life changing encounters.

Not the best known, but still beautiful and very varied is Amber Road that goes from Russia through Baltics, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and down to the Venice or even Rome. 2000km in total. Bonus point you will cross my vineyard on the way.

This sounds like a nice area of Europe to see. If it is possible to bike this path it could be reasonably done as a vacation.

Have you got any good resources which paths are recommmended, and points of interest along the way? Google doesn't seem to report much apart from a few shorter passages along the way.

Super cool! Quick comment. Check your site on mobile, the suggest bar did some weird text wrapping to make it seems to say "this list is growing Dont email me" and I think with a line break or two in there it would be clearer that you want them! I can email a screenshot if you like

Is there a good resource or tutorial on how one would prepare and execute one of these hikes? I would love to try a multi-day hike, but I have zero experience camping / backpacking. Where to get started? Are there hikes for complete novices that e.g. go from town to town with places to stay overnight?

Nice list! Noticed a few decent US hiking trails that aren't on it though. There are tons more of course, especially if you include BDR stuff.

Well, it is actually bike path. I can't talk about whole road, but at the leg through the Czech republic is actually well marked on each intersection.

Here is a map I found: https://en.eurovelo.com/ev9 This route actually didn't end at Venice as it suppose to end (and didn't pass through the Baltic states), but it is nice overview.
