I just got the answer to an Appeal i submitted, and i’m actually not pleased with it, because I feel I have not been listened to: Title: Westerwaldsteig Windelbachtal [Screenshot 2025-03-26 153529] Here, the Westerwaldsteig passes the Windelbachtal [Screenshot 2025-03-26 153547] The Westerwal…

There had been guidance in the past to reject these painted markers. Thank you for explaining about the kind of paint used and how long it lasts and how well it is kept up. Our state parks here in North Carolina use colored plastic shapes nailed into trees, and I would love to see them switch to thi…

Herzlich willkommen im Forum @HikeLadyLDK :hugs: Toll geschrieben

Good afternoon, it seems to me that this ends up being temporary, because it will soon deteriorate. I don’t know what kind of tree it is, but if it were, for example, a cork oak, it would no longer be there next summer and would cease to exist. There are things that seem valid to us, but the underst…

I’m not sure if the response to the appeal is partly automatic and the phrase “falls under temporary” does not result from the rejection reason, but in the case of a trail marker I would pay attention to the second part of this reason: not unique. From my Polish perspective, such markers are not ve…

Sorry if this sounds rude, its not meant that way, but did you read what I wrote? Because your arguments ignore everything i explained in detail :frowning: In germany, hike trail markers aren’t cut away with trees. Its common that Trees get cut off over the marker, if it happens, so the marker stay…

The marking is on a pretty hidden side-path that needs to be made visible to net get lost on the path, wich is why it is important for the navigation of the trail, just as any crossing would be. While the fist picture is Great and surely the best way to mark a trail for wayfarer purposes, its in no…

I understand, I just wanted to make a few points, you write a lot. I think it’s good to bring this issue to the table, maybe the ambassadors will work on it, and want to help change it. Because it seems to me that this is also being rejected by your local community, right? Listen, I’ve been here si…

You see, i didnt want to come across rude. We in our local community do submit hike trails a lot (as said, we live in a major hiking hotspot) and have quite some experience with them, and with good success. 80% of our trail submissions go through, and another 15% make it through appeals. I just saw…

The Information I provided having you think about it and come to another conclusion actually makes me very happy! I didnt know about guidance to this kind of markers existing (I’d be interessted in a Link to this, though), but I hope I can contribute to get it reconsidered. Pressing thumbs! …

I didn’t save a link since I don’t have that kind of trail marker here, but was a staff comment on a post on the old forum about trail markers iirc. Maybe someone else will be able to find it. I do remember avid hikers being upset about the comment. I only mentioned it because some reviewers will ha…

If it was on the old Forums, it might no longer be valid, as there have been quite some reconsideration and education regarding hike trails in the last year. While, a year ago, it was near impossible to get hike trails through the system in my area at all, it now, since it had been added to the cri…

I don't agree with this Appeal decision, please have a second look. (Hike trail)
