    Ah, at least trille is listed in dictionaries :)

    Google translated it to Dutch as Karrepad or karrespoor, in English that would be cart track, indicating poor surface but recognizable path.

    @Willeke Somehow I didn't think of trying machine translation. But a trail so poor one has to push one's bike (like the German Schiebestrecke) sounds considerably worse than a cart track.

    Even as a Norwegian, avid cyclist, I have never heard trillesti before and would not have intuitively understood it. I know the expression trilletur, which in the area I used to live was used for routes on unpaved paths and roads, where the surface is good enough to push a stroller. I would have assumed that a trillesti is a path good enough to walk with a stroller, not a path too poor to cycle, so that you have to walk your bike. Commented Jul 4 at 12:58

    @shoover In this case, Poli is correct. I've never doubted that. I just wanted to point out that it is an unusual expression, which is also used with other meanings. Commented Jul 4 at 19:57
