"Notwegerecht" is very rare in reality, AND the user has to pay. In general in germamy it is historically much more common that these situations don't arise because when land gets sold a prooer deal for regular "Wegerecht" is made. But it does happen.

also in this particular case probably neither would have mattered. Seems like this area is _owned_ by the farm but basically unused. Most (all?) german state consider this to be "freie Landschaft" (free landscape) [this includes unused farmland, woods etc.] which you can cross by foot whenever you want.

a proper deal is usually made, because you know that you won't get around giving access anyways, since the law requires it.
