Gehenweg

Gehenweg is a German term that translates to "walking path" or "footpath" in English. It refers to a designated route or trail intended for pedestrians, often found in urban, rural, or natural settings. Gehenwege are typically marked with signs or symbols to distinguish them from other paths or roads. They can vary in width and surface, ranging from narrow, unpaved trails to wider, paved paths. The primary purpose of a Gehenweg is to provide a safe and convenient route for walking, often connecting different areas or points of interest. They are commonly used for leisure activities, such as hiking, jogging, or simply taking a stroll, and can also serve as a means of transportation for those who prefer walking over other modes of travel. In some regions, Gehenwege may be part of a larger network of trails, contributing to a comprehensive system of pedestrian infrastructure.
