if you wanted to walk in the footsteps of 5838 years of travelers before you,

 you could walk on the Post Track, a prehistoric causeway in the valley of the River Brue in the Somerset Levels, England.

One of the oldest known constructed trackways and dates from around 3838 BCE. 

The army road from Viborg, Denmark through Flensburg to Hamburg was improved with paved fords, embankments and bridges.

 Concentrations of mounds, defensive ditches, settlements and other historic landmarks can be found along the road and sections of it can be traced back to 4000 BC... so not quite a road that is said to be made 6000 years ago, and used ever since
