About Quellina

Quellina is a map for the practical side of being outdoors: where the next water source is, whether a shelter still stands, and what people who were just there reported.

In numbers

76574 spots are recorded in OpenStreetMap. 6,004 spots carry a documented field check by the OpenStreetMap community.

What the map shows

Spots come from OpenStreetMap: drinking water points, natural springs, water points, shelters, wilderness and alpine huts, benches and picnic sites. OpenStreetMap records that a spot exists and where it is.

Community status

A spot on the map does not say anything about its current state. That is what reports are for: other users report whether water was flowing, a hut was occupied, or something was damaged. Green means a recent report said it works, grey means nobody reported yet, red means a reported problem.

Contributing

Reporting takes a free email sign-in — a one-time link, no password. You stay signed in on that device. One report per spot every six hours keeps the data honest. Contributors who report on three different spots unlock photo reports, which show what a place actually looks like.

Coverage

Quellina works anywhere OpenStreetMap has data. The strongest coverage right now is Germany and the Alpine region; the rest of Europe follows as the community grows.

What Quellina is not

Quellina is an information tool, not a guide or an emergency service. Nothing here guarantees that water is drinkable, that a shelter is usable, or that any spot is currently available. Always plan with your own supplies and check official sources for your route.

Questions

Is Quellina free?
Yes. The map and community status are free and work without an account. Reporting requires a free email sign-in.
Where does the data come from?
Spots come from OpenStreetMap. The current status of a spot comes from reports by people who were there.
Can I rely on the status?
Treat it as a recent hint, not a guarantee. Conditions change — springs dry up, huts get closed. Plan with your own margin.
How do I report what I found?
Tap a spot on the map and choose its current state. After signing in once, you stay signed in on that device.
