This is a small city in Belgium. The fortifications are a Vauban Fortress; but most parts of those medieval fortifications are now nature reserve (and protected as heritage). Some parts are open water, others are swamps.
However, most of the north-eastern side of the fortress was mapped as "forest" or something generic. After visiting it, I started micromapping this bit by bit. Upon saving and refreshing, the underlying structure of the fortress was suddenly visible, which was a nice surprise!

Hi Pieter, do you have a screenshot of this?
Or a pointer into OSM?
I only see the text, no image ๐
@marco @pietervdvn@lemmy.ml Hi Marco,
That is because you are looking to a lemmy post from Mastodon. Seems like the images don't come through properly. Visit https://lemmy.ml/post/1852015 and you'll see the picture.
