switch off level cycle path

What site are you using? What are you doing with the downloaded maps? (Is this another case of Garmin users not realising that OSM is not solely a source for free maps for their units...)

You have'nt answered my question. Can you give me this map without the cycle path or not? I need a clean physical map. thank you Carlo

You haven't explained your question.

Where are you downloading the maps from?

Are you using them on a smartphone, or a Garmin GPS unit, or tattooed onto your skin, or...?

I am downloading from https://www.opencyclemap.org/ .... to my pc because I need the map base on which to trace a journey for printing. thanks Carlo A

OpenCycleMap is a cycle map and therefore it shows cycle paths.

You could try https://www.openstreetmap.org/ itself for several map views (see the 'layers' button on the right), or if you want to have contours and hill-shading like OpenCycleMap but without cycle information, try https://opentopomap.org/ .
