= Abstract or Summary =

Hiking trails open up beautiful natural and cultural landscapes. This  makes them a mainstay of summer tourism and an indispensable  prerequisite for local recreation. At the same time, as part of our environment, they are directly affected by the growing pressure of use from settlement, traffic and agriculture. A major part of the network of hiking trails runs along paths that open up agricultural areas as goods routes  or serve as access roads to residential buildings. Originally provided with a natural surface, these paths are increasingly being paved with asphalt and concrete. With the paving, the hiking trails largely lose their recreational value and thus their most important function. ''(First paragraph of Introduction, translated by Google Translate)''
