Hello openrouteservice team,
Is it possible to exclude forest paths when routing on foot?
Best regards.
Hi @Worker ,
this is currently not possible. For foot-* profiles you can only avoid steps, fords and ferries.
In a custom ors instance it would be relatively easy to adjust what you can avoid in the AvoidFeatureFlags, but i’m not really sure there is a tag that fits all “forest paths”, as it’s not quite obvious whether a path is in the forest or not. You could maybe use the forestry key but i’m not sure if that would work out.
Best regards

Just in case this is an option for you @Worker , you could use the avoid_polygons parameter to exclude certain areas corresponding to the forest.
