[OSM-talk-be] [hiking] OSM Pff several hours working on this...

[Marc Gemis]

What's fuzzy about the text "To tag a hiking route you create a relation
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation> with the approbiate tags and
add all elements (points and ways) of the hiking route to this relation.

See also Relation:route <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route>."
which is on the page that you mentioned ?  (spelling mistake copied from
the page)
