When planning trail destinations or urban recreational areas, a professional and systematic approach is essential to ensure sustainability, usability, and long-term value.
Master planning and corridor planning ensure that trails are optimally integrated into the landscape — minimizing erosion, protecting natural habitats, and respecting ecological constraints.
Detailed trail and route planning guarantees that the infrastructure meets the needs of diverse user groups while ensuring a high level of safety and experience quality. Professional trail condition assessments are key to ensuring long-term functionality, reducing maintenance requirements, lowering costs, and ultimately enhancing user satisfaction.
Trail Planning
Master plans outline a comprehensive trail network for a region or destination, integrating spatial planning, land ownership, and stakeholder interests to create a harmonious and future-proof trail infrastructure.
Corridor planning focuses on the preliminary layout of individual trails. It considers spatial planning requirements, land ownership, and stakeholder input to provide a foundation for detailed design and environmentally responsible trail integration.
Detail planning translates trail concepts into precise, actionable plans and alignments. It takes into account terrain specifics and defines technical trail parameters to ensure high-quality, enjoyable, and sustainable trails.
Technical documentation supports trail planning with essential data and specifications, serving as a foundation for regulatory approvals and successful project implementation.
Submission reports and permit processes are critical components of trail development. They ensure compliance with local laws and environmental standards, enabling smooth and lawful project execution.
Routes
planning
Route planning focuses on developing detailed connections and network layouts based on thorough analysis of geographical conditions and user needs. The result is a coherent, ecologically sustainable, and attractive route network that supports both functionality and experience.
Signage concepts establish consistent and intuitive signage systems that enhance user orientation, improve safety, and ensure a seamless and enjoyable trail experience.

analyses
Trail Condition Assessment systematically evaluates the physical state of existing trails — identifying wear, erosion, and safety risks. The results are used to prioritize maintenance efforts, ensure user safety, and preserve long-term trail quality.
Rehabilitation plans outline targeted measures to address deficiencies identified in trail assessments. These plans ensure the durability and quality of trail infrastructure while enhancing the overall user experience.
Frequency maps visualize trail usage intensity across different user groups. They help identify hotspots and guide the targeted allocation of resources for coexistence, maintenance, and trail management.
Conflict analyses explore the interactions between various user groups and between users and the environment. They identify potential conflict zones and provide the basis for proactive solutions. Hybrid frequency monitoring delivers reliable data on user numbers, speeds, and usage patterns — enabling evidence-based decision-making.
User Conflict management involves strategic interventions and practical measures designed to resolve or mitigate identified conflicts. The goal is to foster harmonious coexistence and ensure the sustainable use of trail infrastructure.
