There was a project once to create these maps but I don't know the
status, it may be dead/frozen. Here are two wiko pages
(furGerman-langauge wiki pages
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HaptoRender (German version of the
page may be more current - try auto-translating)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind
There's a German-language mailing list
https://lists.openstreetmap.de/mailman/listinfo/haptischekarten
The main people behind these efforts were OSM users bahnpirat and
Lulu-Ann and if all else fails, try to contact them directly for info.
Best
Frederik
