The coloured trails you can see at more detailed zoom levels, are part of the hiking trail system. The outdoor signage even has a national technical norm [^2] (in Slovak, but has some terminology translated int to English and German).

Also, a bit lame that on mapy.cz, you have to click on the "and others" to actually see the OpenStreetMap credit.

Pretty much the entire thing is taken from OSM and there isn't a single mention of that on any of those pages.
(and as I understand it, Slow Ways haven't contributed back their changes to OSM which is required by the OSM license).

But that might be cultural (de)formation of a previously young person who used to hike with paper maps of similar style.

It sees where you are, finds incomplete items on OSM and asks you if you know things about them. Very handy to use as you're walking around, and a very easy way to submit data to OSM.
If you do find an area with missing data, do feel free to create an account and add it yourself.
That's literally the only way the open source map gets better.
Someone else was more persistent, and managed to get my suburb as existing after five years.
There's a lot more to it than just nobody having volunteered to do the legwork yet.

In my experience, the satellite imagery available in the OSM editor to trace buildings and paths (which the other commenter was talking about) - and when I want to add shops and other things; a quick survey with some photos - are both more than enough for most things.
There's an oxymoron here. Many public data sources that are free to use, do in fact have copyright considerations to be made, correct.
However, "public domain" does not have copyright terms attached. That is why it is in the public domain. If something is actually public domain, there is no copyright holder, and no terms to be enforced.
- Having the whole of the Lake District on a single map.
- Printing on plastic so they don't get damaged and are more compact than the OS laminated maps
- Excluding political boundaries as I don't care about them
- Showing the location of the footpath as well as its legal location; sometimes they're on different sides of the wall
- The reverse of the map usually gives you detailed information on the layers of rock beneath your feet which is interesting for extra reading.
