The route, about 11km long and running through much forest on hillside paths, starts in Gräfendhron and first follows along the small river Dhron. Shortly before Bienenkopf, it crosses the forest to reach a hillside path, along which a Way of the Cross memorial chapel is reached shortly before Horath.
The basis of the route is the Traumpfad Dhrontal-Wacken route, which has been slightly shortened.

Mostly beautiful paths, sometimes rather difficult. The "normal" path is not recommended when wet. However, there is an easier detour for the dangerous ascents and descents, which we did not take.
