Have you been joining hikes so far, without ever organising any? Organising hikes is not that hard, and it makes lots of people happy. Are you maybe scared that something could go wrong? Here are a few tips to help you give it a go! :-)
There are several routes whose start point is not accessible by reasonable public transport (e.g., Geierköpfe). Additionally, in order to have more flexibility (and immunity against train cancellation etc), several users prefer to use cars instead of public transport. Therefore, we have added a new functionality in the website, which allows organizers to associate a carpool with their events.
This blog explains the rationale behind the user rating, and presents a rough sketch how it works. We assume that you are somewhat familiar with the concept of route rating, which represents the effort needed to hike that route. The route rating is based on several factors such as length of the route, elevation gain, sac scale, via ferrata, path visibility etc.
