Hallo Silke Frenzel, um in der Pfronten Outdoor App Touren speichern zu können, müsstest du dich zunächst bei Outdooractive anmelden. Hierzu könntest du direkt bei Outdooractive einen Account anlegen oder du meldest dich einfach über ein bestehendes Konto z.B. bei Facebook, Google oder Apple an. Jetzt hast du die Möglichkeit, auf gespeicherte Inhalte in "Meine Seite" zuzugreifen. Ich hoffe, das hilft weiter :)
