"In the Middle Ages, the term Hellweg referred to a major Via Regia or military road, or an important thoroughfare for long-distance trade, which had to be permanently kept clear of vegetation over a width of approximately three meters. When "Hellweg" is mentioned in literature without further specification, it usually refers to the Westphalian Hellweg.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellweg

The Westphalian Hellweg, often simply called Hellweg, is the most well-known Hellweg in North Rhine-Westphalia. It refers to the western part of the medieval road connecting the Rhine and Elbe rivers along the northern German low mountain range. Specifically, the term refers to the section between Duisburg and Paderborn up to the Weser crossing at Corvey on the road between Aachen and Goslar. This is the road that, among other things, connected the core cities of the Ruhr region and thus gave rise to the Ruhr area. Today's A40 originated from the Hellweg..."
