    type of road

    xomatodromos.jpg

    How is called this type of road in russian (I.e. without асфальт).
    Also how is called a footpath in the middle of a forest or across a river.

    How you will say: In order to reach my house you will need to go through a xxx-road for 150 meters.
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    >>>>Also how is called a footpath in the middle of a forest or across a river

    Тропа, тропинка or even дорожка

    The road on the picture >>>>> I'd call it просёлочная дорога


    >>> How you will say: In order to reach my house you will need to go through a xxx-road for 150 meters.

    Not sure what you mean with the xxx-road but here you go:

    Чтобы добраться до моего дома, тебе нужно (будет) пройти/проехать (depends on the means of reaching, you can even пробежать or проползти ) 150 метров по xxx-дороге

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    xxx-road = просёлочная дорога.
    Mistake: I wanted to write the forementioned road. It sound like an "adult" expression.

    Грунтовая дорога
    Налево пойдёшь - коня потеряешь, направо пойдёшь - сам голову сложишь.
    Прямой путь не предлагать!

    Тоже "грунтовая" сначала пришло в голову, наверное оттого, что в школе изучали топографические карты.
    Вообще специалисты различают много видов дорог:


    Для "обычных" людей, думаю, достаточно выучить "просёлочная" или "грунтовая"
