It’s not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it’s coming back on the side.
Edit 1:
Update, how it was going…
Edit 2:
How it’s going now… They blocked the previous path and guess what? There is now another desire path, under the tree.
Update 2025-05-29: They are installing a wired fence. Going lengths to make people’s life more difficult!
Someone knocked off the pole that was on this section, the one in the photo is a replacement. Someone also bent the same section of the fence.
I totally didn’t frantically Google to see just how bad that is but oh my goodness that’s insane if they think people are just going to go “whelp it’s closed time to go that far!” like damn shorter distances don’t have a chance, they certainly don’t have a snowballs chance in hell!
