Planning routes along hiking trails

23. 9. 2025

We are adding a new option to the Mapy.com REST API for planning walking routes.
Until now, the REST API Routing function offered the walking – fast (foot_fast) option, which always searched for the fastest (and usually the shortest) path.

We are now introducing the hiking (foot_hiking) option. When used, the API will find a route that may not be the shortest but will prefer marked hiking trails and more interesting walking paths.

This option is ideal for planning trips, hikes, and walking routes – situations where the goal is not to arrive as quickly as possible but to enjoy the journey itself.
