Hello Sturzenegger and Makeena, I just came across your changes in Sihlwald Kernzone.

I also ask you not to just delete ways, I had already asked them as abandoned and no access before (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/151512543). I also believe that it is important not to show illegal (or possibly disappeared/overgrown) paths in nature reserves on the map.

However, it is important to keep them in OSM with complete tags (e.g. abandoned:highway and access=no). Otherwise, it is quite likely that people will see a "missing path" on the terrain model and map them again. I suspect that this is exactly what had happened when they were added for the first time back in 2019.

Thank you and happy mapping.
