    Meistens gut begehbar. Manchmal schwierig, sicher mit ein kleiner Hund. Viele Waldarbeiter. Auch manche Hirsche.

    Sehr gut beschriebener Weg (erstaunlich wie präzise selbst bei den Wildwechselwegen als Weghinweis) und eine Wandermöglichkeit in einer Gegend, die sonst kaum die Möglichkeit zu längeren Fußwegen in der Natur bietet.
