We study the geometry of propagation of relativistic fermions. We propose how to measure its quantum mechanical length. Numerical lattice results for the free propagator of Dirac-Wilson fermions yield Hausdorff dimension d_H=2 for the unit-matrix component and d_H=1 for any gamma-matrix component. A possible generalization when matter interacts with radiation is discussed.
