    Method

    1. Extracted municipalities, national parks, accommodation, peaks, beaches and heritage sites from OpenStreetMap with osmnx.
    2. Reprojected to UTM 34N (EPSG:32634) for accurate area and distance.
    3. Spatial join of accommodation points to municipalities → count and density per 100 km².
    4. Polygon overlay of national parks → protected share of each municipality.
    5. Nearest-neighbour join of 2,000 m+ peaks to accommodation → distance to closest bed.

    Data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), extracted . OSM completeness varies, so counts show mapped features rather than official registry totals.
