Thank you, that's already quite useful! I wonder if even more granular data is available anywhere (smaller cities). In fact, many of those 50 cities are not really among the big ones in the EU at all, so they must have had other criteria (perhaps just data availability).
Amazing, thank you! Ironically, the screenshot I included actually did provide a clue as to the leaf type: it was a "mixed woodland" icon. So OSM does encode this after all - however, testing this for the case of woodlands I know well reveals this is not very accurate. For instance, the forest around St Egyden in Lower Austria is probably around 95% pine, yet it is unhelpfully shown as mixed. Another strange thing is that the leaf_type key/feature is NOT shown in Nearby Features, when doing a Query on a point in the woodland area!
@Darren thanks, yeah Outdooractive sadly doesn't show forest type, at least not in the free-of-charge layers. I think this is probably just a matter of trying to find detailed local maps in tourist centres etc. The mapping Internet is probably not mature enough for that yet :)
@Darren, I am mostly interested in Slovakia, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Austria. As I said, I'm sure local mapping services have this information plotted in their paper maps; the UK Ordnance Survey ones are probably better made and more available than most other countries. But - spoilt with searchable world-wide OSM and Google Maps as we all are - I dare hope there is a website where this information is shown at least at the country level if not beyond.
@phipsgabler That would be acceptable too, as long as there was a single place where to get them (as scanned PDFs). But I suspect there isn't, at least not for beyond the county level or so.
