That is interesting. Do you need a specific kind of pass or special permission to go hiking or just experience some outdoor nature?

Nja, no, these fences aren't fences from the government. Just private land. These "state forests" like I know them for example - I never discovered them here. When you go wandering around, you need to press thru barbed wire fences from private properties... But lastly there arent any good hiking/wandering maps too, because it isn't a thing here... Sure, you could try to use Google Maps, OSM, however they are called... But I drive with my offroad motorcycle around and 100% true: always when I think or see there would be a trail on the map, there was/is a fence... (So lastly you know any digital mad can't be very correct/detailed too; because who maps private properties? Some satelitec could do bigger trails, but that is not the real net of trails here, made from animals or since centuries from the indigen people here in the past...)
Well at least you get to ride your dirt bike around, love bikes! Thanks for the detailed response.
Yeah, when I don't drive with locals which know the land owner, than it is more like "leaving the road, reaching the gate, driving back, leaving the road at the next intersection, reaching the gate and so on." The only reason why this can be fun, is because only main roads are paved here or with cobblestone - so there are enough public dirt roads (where driving around is fun for me) and between this "villages/towns" are enough meters to drive a little.
