Meanwhile the Austria topic got a new “pro” message – Weglose ‘Wege’ im Hochschwab
It is written in English, likely not from a local. The gist of it to me: Everywhere anybody ever rambled or scrambled a path can be drawn. If there was not a path there, then how could they have passed the area?
PS: In my local area, recently a path was mapped – by a non-local, according to changeset comment from Strava heat alone – there indeed showing a faint broken line over non-trivial terrain. A month later it was deleted by somebody whom I trust to map from on the site knowledge.
Obligatory xkcd.
