Took this border picture last year:

Asphalt is the czech republic, dirt is germany. It's "EU" letters by the side of the track.

Have you any idea about the amount of paperwork necessary in Germany to pave a path that's going through a forest or, gods forbid, natural reserve, and that's before you need a study looking at the impact paving will have on the local population of red-footed sparkle toads. Ain't no bureaucrat doing that willingly.

Best you can hope for is a fresh gravel resurfacing, which TBH is plenty for a foot/bikepath. Foresters certainly won't complain their stuff can drive off-road, also, they're usually bureaucrats themselves and would be stuck with the paperwork.

Yeah i've got a bit of an idea, but not everything needs to be paved either.

The path wasn't bad on the german side, not that i remember. Looks a bit swampy at the border though.
