Judging by the tracks, the ravine is mainly a bridle path. We also ran through, but I don't want to have any encounters with riders here. There's no way to dodge it. Above parallel runs a beautiful heath path for hiking.

The Brunssummerheide is a beautiful vast heathland landscape, where you can take beautiful walks, especially when the heather is in bloom.

A sunken path is one of those landscape elements that immediately evokes a sense of timelessness. This beautiful, sunken path winds like a natural corridor through the landscape, surrounded by raised banks, tree roots, and dense greenery. It's as if you're entering a quiet passageway used for generations by walkers, farmers, and villagers.

Sunken paths often developed through prolonged and intensive use. Repeated use by people, carts, and livestock gradually wore down the soil, while rainwater and erosion exacerbated the process. Thus formed, these paths today sometimes lie a meter lower than the surrounding terrain, a tangible reminder of former connections between villages, fields, and meadows.
