Hi DrayPrescot,

Okay, I get the point. It looks like this is more of a problem with the Graphhopper router ignoring entrance points. Also, you can see in your example that the Graphhopper even ignores the sidewalk along Ernsthofer Wende. I therefore tested other routers and found that OSRM and openrouteservice correctly route to the nearby entrance (see below). 

I was therefore wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to correctly place entrance points that can even be combined with addresses (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:entrance#Entrances_and_addresses)

In more complex situations where the path is not straight, it is of course perfectly fine to add a path.

In my opinion, this would reduce the amount of work and make it much easier for people to find the entrance to more complex buildings.

Perhaps the Graphhopper developers could even be contacted to solve this problem.

Have a nice day,
