Directions from 1 Point-Layer

Using the vertices we saved earlier, we can now calculate the route again — this time using the ORSTools Processing  Toolbox for an even more flexible and also repeatable approach. To do this, use the Directions from 1 Point-Layer tool. It allows you to calculate the route based on the saved layer, making it easy to adjust parameters and rerun the analysis until you’re fully satisfied with the result.

Open the “Directions from 1 Point-Layer” tool, then select the vertices layer you saved earlier. Set the travel preference to foot-hiking once again to ensure the route is optimized for walking trails. Scroll a bit further down to set the avoid polygons option to our Bears layer again.

Same old, same old — but now we can easily adjust the parameters and rerun the analysis until we’re fully satisfied with the result.
