OpenStreetMap
In the last week I tried to fix as many tracks near Homburg/Saar as accurately as possible. I used not only GPS-Tracks but satellite pictures and my local knowledge. Some tracks are biking trails and may not be nice to walk. If somebody knows if there’s a way to mark them please let me know!

Hello!
The tag “highway=track” should be used for any way that is usable at least by an offroad vehicle or tractor. If it’s to narrow for that, the tag “highway=path” is more appropriate.
You can classify track quality with the tag “tracktype=gradeX” where X is a number between 1 to 5. This allows you to distiguish asphalt tracks from uncondensed tracks using natural ground.
You can define the “ease of use” of hiking ways (paths or tracks) with the “sac_scale:value” tag, where “value” defines the skill level required to walk this way. See wiki for details.
You can include a “mtb_scale” tag for defining a difficulty rating of the way when using it with a bicycle.
I hope this helps! Hendric
