Which are you using?
For most things (day trips, few km after work…) I use multiple of them.
- online and offline mobile app
- trip planner works pretty well
- you can check out places (photos, reviews…) when online
- well maped whole Europe
- not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel…)
- basically interactive version of KČT maps
- can’t find app
- basic planner, but better for drawing your route
- much more helpful info about roads
- it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it
Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.
Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.
Yeah in practice it’s the steep climbs that suck. That’s also the reason why my tourbike has the smallest gears possible ^^
Energy efficiency is more about conserving your foods than your legs.
I don’t think there is one.

is probably the closest, but this likely just ends up favoring big roads which typically don’t have that many junctions.I think that the silly route in this example is mostly about avoiding the hills (and their steep descents).
Maybe shuffling through the alternative routes would be the easiest way to deal with this sorta lapses. The 1st alternative route works in this case. You can select it from the top left profile menu. The last couple options.
