Heyho, I would like to track how much I walk per day. Ideally via a FOSS app as I don't have any other device on me all the time. Is there anything good available?

If you want to go FOSS all the way down to the hardware I would suggest the Pine Time:

https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/

It has a step counter, so not quite km, but it is all FOSS Hardware and Software.

If you want something more sophisticated then there is AsteroidOS which can be flashed on a bunch of commercially available smart watches: https://asteroidos.org/watches/

That's really nice! pinetime looks great, but is currently out of stock. I tried finding an open source smart watch before, but only found pebbles which doesn't market for the EU.

Still have other replies to read but likely I'll just wait for pinetime to be stocked again.

I am using the BangleJS 2 as my open source smart watch. Works great for me.

Looks great! I might now what I get for christmas :) just have to double check that UK hasn't heavily changed their guarantee laws since leaving the EU and that shipping is survivable.
