In Germany, you have a legal right to walk in open nature; the diamond waymarks are just for orientation. In most German states, cycling and horseback riding is also allowed on "suitable" ways. (In the Black Forest, cycling would require a way that is at least 2 meters wide.) Land owners can restrict that right only for a few specific reasons. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
