Hi like Pieren said its a infromal bundle of tracks, in Holland we call them
Hessenwegen, Hessen, merchants from Germany used these tracks with heavy
vehicles and just changed the track if it was ruined. Take a arial look here
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.04435&lon=5.7163&zoom=15&layers=M and even
the original tracks are visible here
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.01674&lon=6.65436&zoom=16&layers=M between
Gasteren and Rolde, the tracks are 400 to 500 m apart, but form a route between
the places. They are concentrated at the voorde, (river crossing) Its also
possible to take a look through google maps, but dont tell everyone.I would
consider the area to tag as it is an area with several (middle aged, 1000 -
1600 years) roads. The same as in Africa, no obstacles so youre free to go
anywhere, one road is as good as another or even better and tag it
accordingly.Greetz
