Hello,
I would like to present Freemap.eu – a free online map for outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, ski touring). The map now also supports the Slovenian language.
What might interest hikers:
- Detailed shaded relief and contour lines from high-resolution LiDAR data for Slovenia (DMR) – the map nicely shows every ravine, old path and terrain shape.
- Marked mountain, cycling and ski routes.
- Route planning for multiple profiles (hiker, bike, skiing …) with elevation profile (ascent/descent).
- Offline maps for use without signal and export to GPS devices and apps (Garmin, Locus, OsmAnd).
- Print or export the map to PDF or image (with optional relief, contours and marked routes) – handy for the field.
- Live tracking, search, measuring distances and elevations, drawing and saving your own maps.
- Gallery of photos linked to locations on the map.
The map is based on OpenStreetMap data and is updated continuously. Use is free and without user tracking; the project is developed by the non-profit association Freemap Slovakia. Some advanced features (e.g. offline map export and some high-resolution layers) are available via premium subscription, which supports the project's operation.
Map: https://www.freemap.eu (language can be changed in the menu).
You can also follow us on Mastodon: https://en.osm.town/@FreemapSlovakia
I will be happy to receive your feedback and suggestions – what is missing for Slovenia and what could be improved. Thank you!

Oh super. For some off-trail paths, where one is mainly interested in the relief, it might be useful. The shading is nicely done. I'll try it in practice to see how it performs

Attention, Freemap.eu does not show the current state of paths! E.g. the path to Cojzova koča from Suhadolnik is marked incorrectly, which variant is closed. Also some surrounding paths, it shows that they are closed while maPZS says they are not!
For Slovenia, maPZS is definitely the best map!

Thank you! Let me mention one more thing: unlike maPZS the data on the map comes from OpenStreetMap which anyone can edit. So if you notice a missing path, incorrect trail or some error you can fix it yourself on openstreetmap.org — the correction appears on the map almost in real time. It is a community map so it is always better the more people contribute.
