"From 2019, the #cartographic style #OpenArdenneMap is updated every 6 months. OpenArdenneMap is a cartographic style for topographic maps based on #OSM data.OpenArdenneMap was originally developed as a cartographic style with the #imposm importer and a #cartoCSS style derived from #OSMBright. Later the #osm2pgsqlimporter was used instead of the imposm. From 2023, the OpenArdenneMap is also available in #QGIS"
