HikesAlike
Pick a hike you enjoyed and HikesAlike lists other hikes in Europe that feel similar: comparable length, climb, highest point, landscape and typical weather. You can also describe a hike instead of naming one, and limit results to a driving time from a starting town.
- Builds a catalogue of roughly 250,000 day hikes and day stages from OpenStreetMap, enriched with elevation, land cover and climate data.
- Each hike becomes a feature vector; similarity weights are adjustable in the interface.
- Optional drive-time filter through a self-hosted Valhalla routing engine.
- Served as a small read-only export on Google Cloud Run.
