These generally run roughly parallel to main roads and run roughly North - South (Super Routes V2, V4, V6 etc) , or roughly East - West (Super Routes H2, H4, H6 etc).  These form a "network" ( a roughly rectangular grid) of routes and IMHO are more suitable for commuting to work, shopping,or generally "getting somewhere" than for tourism.  There is one relation per route, which is tagged as "lcn=yes"

There is nothing in the English or German wiki pages that I can find that backs up this assertion.  I maintain that lcn etc are perfectly fine tagging for either recreational or commuter usage, and I find the distinction you're making to be strange.
