    Einer der schönsten deutschen Mittelgebirgswege, die ich bislang gelaufen bin. Der Anteil an Pfaden ist ordentlich. Was Touristinformationen in Mittelgebirgen als „schwer“ definieren, ist Auslegungssache. Lange, steile Anstiege gab es nicht. Möglicherweise der hohe Anteil an Pfaden? Der Abschnitt Prüm-Birresborn war am schönsten. Es wurde selten langweilig. 😃

    Sehr schöne Tour mit viel Bärlauch. Man sollte auf jeden Fall ein Tütchen einpacken. Die Runde führt am Wasser vorbei und ist einfach zu gehen.

    Nach kurzem steilen Anstieg, ein sehr angenehmer Wanderweg. Festes Schuhwerk wird empfohlen. Im Mai findet man blühenden Bärlauch und Waldmeister. Der Mischwald zeigt sich zu jeder Jahreszeit von seiner schönsten Seite. Gehzeit mit kleiner Pause ca. 2 Stunden
