Calculation
Heated public places for winter from OpenStreetMap, with editorial enrichment. The editorial team researched 677 candidates and rated 230 as suitable. After removing 3 duplicates, the layer shows 227 places. Winter opening, staying without purchase and admission come from operator sources, each with a source and check date. The "open now" status uses the research hours, and OSM hours for places without research hours. If the research names no fixed schedule, the layer shows no status.
