Use of sac_scale in non-mountainous areas

As natively speaking German, when I read “gut gebahnt”, I understand this to say more than “no obstacles present”. Actually, willow branches hanging into the airspace would not be contrary. It says, that there is a path on the ground that clearly sets out from the surroundings, most likely constructed, perhaps even using imported material. If only trampled, then by a horde of elephants at least.

As a native Dutch speaker, I agree with this! “Sich ein Weg bahnen” (de) = “zich een weg banen” (nl) = “pave/make/carve oneself a way” (en), i.e. “to pave” as in “creating/making” a way, not necessarily “covering it with asphalt”
