What are characteristics and themes and how to use them on RouteYou

As an author, you can link characteristics and themes to a route and/or a POI. This is very useful, because people are looking for routes and places based on specific characteritics and themes (read here more about how to find a route).

Typical examples of characteristics are:

• Car free
• Round trip (circular)
• Child frienly
• Unpaved...

Typical examples of themes are:

• Cultural heritage
• Nature
• History
• Geology ...
