Very sad news: OpenTopomap is being retired, basically.

Many thanks to the people who gave their time over 14 years so that we could use this wonderful gift.

Is there a comparable web service that offers OpenStreetmap like tiles with contour lines?

@lupo That is indeed is a sad thing. OpenTopoMap raster layer has been available for ages. I'm adding a "set to be discontinued" note here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Raster_tile_providers#Base_maps

You can see this list has some other hill-shaded map options, but maybe less permissive. For example ThunderForest outdoor style is beautiful, but only free for low-traffic experiments.

The developer seems to be hinting that a similarly styled vector tile approach will be possible at some point: https://github.com/der-stefan/OpenTopoMap/issues/365#issuecomment-2825441010
