How beautiful!

Same

We have one too, created by the dogs between the deck and the shop ramp; they just ignore the door!

Designed by people more focused on some aesthetic vision, rather than thinking of the people who would use it

It's crappy paving. You can tell they didn't want to. But it's a win!

That one took a while to form.

Probably even worse for cyclists and people with strollers/trams

Cats always know the way.

Speed bumps on a BIKE PATH instead of the ROAD where they should be. Typical idiocy.

Everyone needs fries.

Anyone else see a pentagram on the left? Just me?

I love this setting. I've never been there, but just this photo of those woods make me feel so peaceful.

What sort of roundabout from hell is that? I haven't seen a roundabout looking that difficult since I got sheet music to Yes.

I would push through those every single day until they paved it.

What am I seeing here?

Now they will end up with two of them

I’m betting there’s a regulation limiting how steep a public path can be, and the dogleg is needed to adhere to it.

That’s pretty random. I wonder if there was a tree there.

That's where all the good smells are!

Zoom in they are on the path on the left side.

The 7 stages of desire path resistance are shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance.

Wow, that's more than a desire path on the left. It's a two-lane-high-traffic-pave-it-already path.

Except for graffiti a-holes.

Were they drunk when they paved this!?

Why is there even a gate there?

That one looks like it was deliberately built.

That path is still under the sign.

"The length of any side of triangle will always be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides." - Euclid

Or elderly etc need help with stairs...

That's probably cyclists. Those barriers are designed to slow us down. But it's not very useful if you can just go around

The shortest distance between two points…

😆😆😆

That's not a desire path that's a trying to get around the badly parked lorry path.

Is that a UFO desire path in the sky???

Mixed messages,

💕

And that signage was cheaper or more efficient than fixing the wobbly stairs in what way?

That one looks like it was made by bicycles.

Desire gulch.

Even our little rat friends have desires.

Why is it there and not cutting the corner wider (more to the left)?

Life is short

Erosion is a serious thing in high mountains. Keeping the grass mat intact prevents mud avalanches happening. Once that path is waljed down to the soil, rain and melting snow will create a shear line. Desire paths are sirt of okay if people are in a hurry. But they are hiking for fun, in wild nature. So get off the lawn, don't trample over the plants struggling already on this heights and stay on the road. Stupid tourists.

Because "cars are the priority", not human lives. Force people with strollers to go between cars so that they are run over.

Has gravel, looks legit. Screenshot...01-png.jpg

Oof

UK superstition against walking between 2 white poles. (Black poles are no problem.)

I think that's just a broken fence/j

Found animal pee spot...
