Criteria for rough guidance
What do the arrows mean?
The coloured arrows and pieces of information provided are the first navigation aids. Read all the measures and information for more detail. If none of the predefined measures are met, the destination is assigned a red arrow. Establishments that have more than 2 steps are only highlighted if they are especially important.
