If you would like to reverse a Komoot tour, you can do this in just a few steps directly in the app. This creates more flexibility in route planning.
Reverse the Komoot tour: Here’s how it works
Komoot is a popular app that allows you to discover the most beautiful hiking routes in Germany and other destinations. Here you will find a large selection of tours in your area, which are provided with detailed directions and routes. Reversing a tour can be useful if you want to drive or hike the selected route in the opposite direction.
- Open the tour in the Komoot app: Open the Komoot app on your smartphone. Now select the planned tour you want to reverse. To do this, you can either add an already planned route to your Collections call up or plan a new tour.
- Edit route: Tap the tour to view the route details. Select the Edit or Change option (depending on the version of the app). Now more precise details can be customized.
- Reverse route: In edit mode, there is a button labeled Reverse Route or Reverse Direction. This is usually located at the top of the screen or in the route options menu. Tap this option. Komoot will now reverse the direction of the tour so that the previous end point becomes the new starting point and the previous starting point becomes the destination.
- Save tour: After reversing the route, you can review the changes. The app will now show you the route in the new direction. If the direction is now correct, tap Save to keep the reverse route in your collection or in your current planning.
- Start tour: You can now navigate the reverse tour as usual. The app will now guide you in the newly determined direction.
Other useful functions of the Komoot app
In addition to reversing a route in the app, Komoot offers other useful functions that you should know about. With Komoot Premium you can use these gadgets for your route planning.
- Offline maps: You can download maps for specific regions for offline use. This is particularly useful in areas with poor or no network. You have access to your planned tours and the maps even without an internet connection, so you can navigate safely.
- Weather forecast for tours: Komoot shows you a weather forecast for the planned period and route of your tour. This is particularly helpful for adjusting to weather conditions and adjusting equipment or tour start time if necessary.
- Integration with smartwatches and GPS devices: Komoot can be synchronized with various smartwatches and GPS devices such as Garmin or Suunto, so you can use routes and track tours directly on these devices. This means you benefit from simple and convenient navigation without having to constantly keep an eye on your smartphone.
- Elevation profile and gradient information: The app shows a detailed elevation profile of the planned tour. The information includes total height, ascents and descents. This information can be very useful for estimating the difficulty of a tour in advance. You can see where particularly steep climbs or long descents await you.
