In Czechia and Slovakia we have mapy.cz which gives you more detailed map for walking/hiking, including contour lines. See [^1] for example. The coloured trails you can see at more detailed zoom levels, are part of the hiking trail system. The outdoor signage even has a national technical norm [^2] (in Slovak, but has some terminology translated int to English and German).

I must concur, I have used mapy.cz for hiking across the Europe with great success. Even on Iceland.

This is just OpenStreetMap with another frontend on top, you can see this by going to the area[1] and going to the right, selecting layers and looking at the CyclOSM one. Also, a bit lame that on mapy.cz, you have to click on the "and others" to actually see the OpenStreetMap credit.

  Surely there's nothing wrong with using OSM as one of your primary map data sources? As far as I know, Mapy.cz uses several sources in the Czechoslovak territory, although abroad, perhaps quite a bit fewer of them are being used.

    There's nothing wrong with it - it's just not giving credit back properly that I have an issue with. Take this for example, which got some front page news time in the UK: - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/dec/27/walk-this-way-army-of-hikers-will-road-test-new-map-of-footpaths https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/dec/27/walk-th... - https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/jun/13/how-the-slow-ways-network-could-change-walking-in-britain https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/jun/13/how-the-slow-... - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54562137 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54562137 Pretty much the entire thing is taken from OSM and there isn't a single mention of that on any of those pages. (and as I understand it, Slow Ways haven't contributed back their changes to OSM which is required by the OSM license).

Mapy.cz is a great product and I would say "underrated". They feel so much more natural than Google Maps to me. But that might be cultural (de)formation of a previously young person who used to hike with paper maps of similar style.
