Suggest a cool place

CoolingSpots shows for free where it stays cool and shady in the heat. Know a cool place that is still missing? Suggest it.

Hot days are increasing, and official heat action plans rely on publicly known cool places. With an entry you help people around you find a place to cool down quickly.

For example:

Shaded paths where the dog can walk even in the heat
Trips that work with children on hot days
Cool places that are easy to reach for older people as well
Spots by the water or in the forest to sit out the midday heat

As a community member: suggest a cool place

Anyone can suggest a cool place - for free. There are exactly two conditions:

Freely accessible
Pleasantly cool in summer

Price: Free.
Valid: Stays on the map as long as it is right. We look at every entry once a year.

A short assistant asks for what is needed and sends the suggestion. You get a status link, and we check it by hand. No account.
