Floodplains & dry meadowsThese layers stream live from the Swiss federal geoportal (BAFU/OFEV, map.geo.admin.ch) — exact official boundaries, not hand-drawn, and always current. The swatches above are the government's own official legend images for each layer (same source as the map tiles), so they match exactly what you'll see on the map. Requires an internet connection.
This map is a simplified, non-legal overview built from public guidance (see Sources tab). Rules change and municipalities add their own restrictions — always double-check locally before you pitch a tent.
