The Haut-Jura regional natural park and Makina Corpus financed a first version of the Geotrek-rando widget in 2022, announced on the mailing list.
The Loire-Anjou-Touraine regional natural park has just financed a series of changes to the widget to improve both its display and its content, which is now closer to Geotrek-rando with:
This widget, which can be used and integrated simply and freely on a third-party site, can be used to promote content (or part of it) without the need to deploy Geotrek-rando. It can also be used to share data on the websites of regional partners (communities of communes, tourist offices, accommodation, etc.), as they will be able to re-use the content already entered in a Geotrek-admin on their institutional website.
To do this, this widget connects to the API of a Geotrek-admin to dynamically retrieve the content. It is then possible to configure the colour and background map, as well as limiting the content returned by structure, portal, practice, municipality, etc.

Geotrek was designed in 2012 by 3 national parks to manage trails and promote hiking and mountain heritage. From the outset, this open-licensed digital tool was designed to be shared, so that other organizations could make it their own. A real success when you consider that today over 150 regional natural parks, communities of municipalities, regions, tourist offices, national parks... have now deployed Geotrek on their own territory!
Building on this success, the Ecrins National Park IT team submitted the Geotrek project for the OSOR Awards 2023 last September. These awards, presented by the European Commission's Open Source Observatory (OSOR), recognize and promote the best open source solutions and initiatives created by or for public administrations in Europe. Of the 101 entries received from across Europe, six have been nominated as finalists for the Jury's Prize... including Geotrek! The winner will be announced on the occasion of OSOR's 15th anniversary on November 21 in Brussels.
