bikerouter.de is an online bicycle route-planning website based on BRouter-Web, BRouter, and OpenStreetMap. It is designed for cycling route creation rather than general map navigation. The page clearly supports routing preferences such as Road, Gravel, Trekking, MTB, Shortest, and Safest, and can generate up to three alternative routes based on waypoints.
Its main strength lies in how customizable its route planning is. Users can import tracks in formats such as GPX, KML, and GeoJSON, use them as background layers, or convert them into editable routes. They can also import No-go areas in GeoJSON format to avoid unwanted regions. For export, it supports GPX, KML, GeoJSON, CSV, and FIT, making it suitable for use with cycling computers or other navigation tools. Route statistics include distance, riding time, maximum elevation, ascent, and an elevation profile, while the right sidebar provides additional analysis features. Advanced users can also add custom base maps, overlays, and Overpass queries, and save custom routing profiles in the browser.
No paid plans are mentioned in the main text. The page provides Support and Hall of Fame sections, suggesting that it is mainly free to use and supported through donations or contributions. BRouter-Web and BRouter are both marked as being under the MIT License, but the main text does not clearly state whether the bikerouter.de website itself is fully open source or self-hostable.
Its advantages include rich cycling configurations, comprehensive import and export format support, OSM routing data updates four to five times per day, and support for keyboard shortcuts, short links, QR codes, and round-trip route planning. Its drawbacks are that it is not a standard developer API product and does not specify a public API or SDK; custom configurations are mainly stored in the current browser and must be manually imported or exported for migration; support is mainly handled through the forum, and the page states that support requests are no longer handled by email.
It is suitable for serious cyclists, long-distance route planners, Gravel/MTB users, and users who need to create GPX/FIT files. For developers, it is more of a professional route-planning tool based on the OSM/BRouter ecosystem than a development platform. Access from mainland China, as well as map tile loading speed and stability, are not specified in the main text, so its accessibility should be considered unknown.
