Plan
See the green route and the fast one, side by side
The green route draws in teal, the fastest route as a grey dashed line. Distance and time sit next to both, so you can pick.
Bike Antwerp by its parks and tree-lined streets.
Type a start and a destination. Travel by Trees finds a route that stays near the city’s parks, trees, and waterways, and shows how much greener it is than the fast way before you ride.

You always see the minutes it adds, next to the greener number.
Tune
Choose how green you want it
One slider, from fastest to greenest. Push it toward the trees when you have time, back toward fast when you don’t. The route updates as you move it.
Ride
It counts the trees you pass
Start navigation and it keeps you on the green line, counting each tree you ride past. At the end you see the total for the trip.

Where the green score comes from
The greenery is real, street-by-street map data: parks, tree inventories, and waterways from OpenStreetMap and the city’s own green register, scored per street and routed by an open-source bicycle router. Every greener figure is measured from that data, street by street.
