@Natasha_Jay superb.
Are they called "desire paths" in English, or is that wordplay for the title? In Dutch we call them elephants paths.

  @clacke @Natasha_Jay
  Thanks. Also looked up the #Dutch version where "elephants' path" is indeed 'official'.
  #French: chemin de l’âne
  #English: desire line or desire path
  #German: Trampelpfad
