Where can I find a global heat map of travel spots?
For example, if I were to plan a trip between Munich and Berlin by car, it'd be great to have a quick glance at a map that would give me a quick idea on where the interesting spots are. That way there's no need to stumble over dozens of pages on Wikitravel to see if there's something cool in the area that's easily reachable on a drive like this.
I've found a good example of an attractions heat map of London:
Is there something similar on a global scale?

Have you tried foursquare or panoramio*? (* Assuming that a high photo density is a very interesting touristic place)

@JonathanReez not sure if this would qualify but try using Strava although it is related to 'activities' it does show good areas to hike, cycle etc.

Here's what I'm aware of:
Sightsmap (which I think comes closest to what you are looking for)- Heatmaps of Flickr photos and Twitter tweets
- Flickr heat maps
- Flickr heat maps distinguishing between locals and tourists
- The above two sets of images available as a browsable global heat map
Flyover Country shows you what's beneath you on your flight
A KML file detailing the 'touristiness' of places and another KML file with interesting remote places

The most detailed heat map at global scale, that shows the most relevant, popular places is this:

Try to search or just zoom-in into any city on the planet to see how accurate it is.
