Holzweg

"Wood" is an old name for forest. In the wood there are paths,
mostly overgrown, that come to an abrupt stop where the wood is
untrodden.
They are called Holzwege.
Each goes its separate way, though within the same forest. It often
appears as if one is identical to another. But it only appears so.
Woodcutters and forest keepers know these paths. They know what
it means to be on a Holzweg.
