English term or phrase:breadcrumbs
Definition from University of Minnesota Duluth: Breadcrumbs are a type of web navigation where current location within the website is indicated by a list of pages above the current page in the hierarchy, up to the main page. It not only shows users where they are currently located in the site's architecture, but it also lets them back up levels one at a time. It is a recursive path.
Example sentence(s):
On websites that have a lot of pages, breadcrumb navigation can greatly enhance the way users find their way around. In terms of usability, breadcrumbs reduce the number of actions a website visitor needs to take in order to get to a higher-level page, and they improve the findability of website sections and pages. mashing Media GmbH
Breadcrumbs give users an alternative method of navigation, allow them to see where they stand in the hierarchy of a website, and will reduce the number of steps needed to navigate to a higher-level within a website.

Breadcrumb navigation was expected to be a global characteristic—that is, a site would either provide breadcrumb navigation on its pages or not. However, breadcrumbs would occasionally be present on some, but not all, pages along the sample path. Heidi P. Adkisson
Definition: Bei breadcrumbs handelt es sich um Navigationselemente, die den Pfad zum aktuellen Element (Webseiten, Kategorie in Katalog, usw.) zeigen. Brotkrumennavigationen sollen die Orientierung innerhalb tief verzweigter Elementbäume (etwa Websites, Dateisystem, Katalogen usw.) verbessern, indem sie Links zu vorher besuchten, übergeordneten oder themenverwandten Elementen anbieten.
