In the UK there's that law/rule which states that you have to allow hikers to cross your land, yes? Equestrians as well?

No.
However we do have a VAST network of public footpaths and bridleways, which must be open at all times (you can apply for a temporary closure for maintenance / safety works). But these date back typically hundreds of years, and are (generally) well established. Occasionally they get missed off maps, then legal searches miss them, and people end up buying a property that has a right of way through the kitchen (yes, that's literally happened). Then there are all sorts of legal wrangles of course.
In parts of the UK there is a "right to roam" which grants general access to roam across wild areas, but there is of course always the obligation not to cause damage to the environment, livestock or crops.
However it's not illegal to go onto someone else's property; "trespass" is the offence of not leaving when requested to do so. In practice though we respect property and if it's private, we leave well alone. Even though we're unlikely to be shot even if we do trespass, and a notice stating that "trespassers will be shot" could well land the landowner up in court, as it's pre-meditated excessive force.

I saw a sign in South Africa years ago that said: "Trepassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.".

At the old "Lion Country Safari" in Southern California, a few decades ago, their sign read:
No trespassing. Violators will be eaten!
I do not recall ever hearing of trespassers, living or digested.

To be fair in the UK one is probably going to have to borrow a gun even before one could consider that.
In the US there is probably one under the rock next to the sign.

We've over 600,000 firearms in the UK; over 2 million including shotguns. We just don't take them to the supermarket or coffee shop with us...

My wife is a Nurse. At the hospital, they have to ask for Male, Female, Gay, and Transgender.
Political Correctness sucks. People should not be so "touchy" about who they are. I am pretty sure this all started in Washington D.C. or California, take your pick.
Speaking of transgender, The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge against a State law prohibiting transgender biologically male athletes from competing in women's sporting events. It isn't fair for someone with a male body, which has more physical strength competing with someone without. It should be a level playing field.

What people don't want to understand is...
there are biologically speaking ONLY TWO genders. The rest are sexual orientations.
And for the ones that answer with: What about the She-Males?
I answer one of two:
- Have to sit to piss?
or
- I know men with bigger breasts that still are men.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Difficult to google for this but presumably in Germany it appears to be called 'Betretungsrecht'.
Which, as I read it, means they can walk there if it is not cultivated land.
So unless under cultivation they can walk there whether there is a sign or not?

If correct, the best I can promise will be quite a late one tomorrow, probably at least 2 hours late - sorry.

I wouldn't say that. Your first 2 guesses knocked out 1/3 of the alphabet. After guess 3 you only had 2 letters. But, by limiting the remaining choices your 4th guess solved. I much prefer your situation over what mine was today:

After guess 4 I still had 2 untried vowels and half the alphabet left. I was getting a bit tight sphinctered by then (well, as much as losing a silly game could  ).
