i am on android and after reading a couple walkthroughs i tried accessing it for the armour breaking quest, but as i am standing on the path it wont let me enter and i just stand on the path at the edge of the screen, what do i do?

What are you trying to do? The forest in Thremten is not related to the armor breaking quest as far as I remember, so I don't know what you're trying to do or where exactly your're trying to go through a "secret path."
