意思
To stop visiting.
文化背景
Hospitality is a cornerstone of Russian identity. To 'forget the road' is often seen as a sign that a friendship is dying, which is taken more seriously than in more individualistic cultures. With the rise of massive apartment blocks (человейники), people often 'forget the road' to neighbors they lived next to for years because social structures are becoming more private. In rural Russia, the phrase is literal. If a house is abandoned, the road to it is reclaimed by nature within a few years. Younger Russians use this phrase ironically about apps. If someone stops using TikTok, they might say they 'forgot the road' there.
Use it as a joke
If a friend is 5 minutes late, don't use this. If they haven't called in a month, it's the perfect 'friendly guilt' phrase.
Watch the case!
Remember: 'к' + Dative for people. 'Забыл дорогу к Маше' (not Машу).

The 'Babushka' effect
Be prepared to hear this from elderly Russian relatives. It's their way of saying 'I love you and want to see you.'

Not usually. It's more of a soft reproach or a statement of fact. However, tone of voice matters.
'Перестать ходить' is literal and neutral. 'Забыть дорогу' is more colorful and idiomatic.
