Select a day for its refill gaps. Start and finish are route boundaries; reliability describes availability, not water quality.

Water along your route

Discovering water sources in the background…

Taps and springs within 500 m. Choose the sources you intend to use; only those count in your refill plan. Distances from the route are straight-line estimates.

Source: © OpenStreetMap contributors · ODbL. Map data does not confirm current flow, access or water quality.

Availability and drinkability are different. Selecting “Reliable” affects the conservative refill-gap calculation; it does not establish that water is safe to drink. Off-route collection adds a detour that is not included in stage distance or walking time.

Overnight stays

A good place to end each day.

Places along your route

Campsites, accommodation and huts within 2 km. Choose the stops for your plan; they follow route order. Availability and access need checking.
