A tourist orientation point (TOP) is a starting point with parking facilities, from which you can hike or cycle on sign-posted paths. So it provides an easy way to discover the most beautiful places in the region.
Every TOP has a map of the surrounding area and also gives some suggestions for hiking and biking routes to follow from that TOP. So you can start your hiking or cycling tour at a TOP without any preparation. Of course, you can also first choose a nice route on this website and print it out or download it to your phone or navigation device. Then you only use the TOP for free parking of your car and for the, usually present, catering facilities, so you can sit down with a snack and/or drink before or after your outing. Whatever suits your needs.
