Looking at "Nationaal Park De Loonse en Drunense Duinen", there are nearly a dozen places that that I would probably call trailheads: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.63153/5.06300 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.65683/5.07140 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.65623/5.08233 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.66740/5.08273 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.67192/5.07931 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.66658/5.14424 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.65640/5.15269 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.63970/5.14803 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.63535/5.11149 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.63125/5.09456 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.62901/5.08933 only two of which appear to be designated as such. I also found about as many locations where I'd expect to find a trailhead, informal or otherwise. Compare to the main section of Riverside State Park, a park in the western United States of comparable size and urban-ness, with nine named trailheads and about a dozen unnamed ones: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/47.7429/-117.5226 None of them meets the Netherlands definition of a trailhead. Sontag Park trailhead probably comes the closest, lacking only a marking pole/stele. The rest are paid parking, and most of them lack benches and information boards as well as markers. (Incidentally, if you insist on "starting point" rather than "access point", only two of them are trailheads: Nine Mile, the starting point for the Spokane Centennial Trail, and the equestrian-area trailhead, starting point for 25-Mile Trail.) -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
