What is 'Premium'?

When planning individual routes or entire vacations, many people rely on travel guides, route books, and specialty magazines. And for good reason. The information they contain is not only comprehensive and authentic, but also reliable. We bring this content to you digitally on our website and in the app, so you can access it anytime, anywhere.

Premium routes are available with a Pro+ subscription. They represent the highest quality content on our platform: The accurate tracks, authentic descriptions, and powerful imagery have been created, researched, and digitized by professional authors. This way, you not only get a true expert recommendation for your next adventure, but also all the details you need to prepare.

Why do I have to pay for Premium Routes?

To bring you premium content, we collaborate with professional authors and established publishers. Our partners have a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality content.

We make it our mission to gather this content from books and magazines and bring it to our platform, ensuring it retains its value in an increasingly digital world.

Most of this content remains the property of the authors and publishers. Because this content is also available for purchase elsewhere, we only show our Basic and Pro users a preview of the routes. For full access, a Pro+ subscription is required.

How do I find premium routes and what's the difference between them and top routes?

You can recognize Premium routes by the yellow Premium label that appears below the title in each route's preview. You can also search specifically for premium content in the route search by selecting the "Premium" filter.

The TOP route label, on the other hand, can be given to content from the Community or from tourism partners. These routes are classified as "Top routes" if they are well-researched, detailed, and have good ratings—but unlike Premium routes, they are available for free.
