This very varied hike leads from Gusterath-Tal (Romika) via Neuhof to the slopes above the Riveris Reservoir. First, magnificent panoramic views, then along a dark, shady forest path. From Riveris past Morscheid to the vineyards of Sommerau again great views, then the forest encloses the hiker once more.

The start is at the beginning of the dream loop "Morscheider Grenzpfad", but immediately after the gate there is a rather steep descent to Riveris: then about 2 km to the dam, which cannot be walked on, continuing on wide, mostly paved or lightly gravelled paths around the lake on nice hillside paths until you meet the border path again on the left. Then go up the path and further on the hillside path, which is also often used for horse rides.

    Es ist eine insgesamt sehr schöne und vorbildlich ausgeschilderte Tour. Bis auf die "KlimeKRISE (wie wäre es mit Wandel und Fehler der Forstwirtschaft) sehr gute Beschilderung der Sehenswürdigkeiten. Meist werden geschickt breite Forstwege umgangen. Nach 15 km wird aber etwas übertrieben: Anstatt die anstrengende Runde auslaufen zu lassen, wird man ohne Sinn auf zwei steile Anstiege geschickt. 16 km waren es insgesamt, und die Strecke stimmt noch immer nicht mit der in der App hinterlegten überein. Leider konnte Google Maps nicht zum Parkplatz führen. Ich landete in Riveris im Wohngebiet - war wohl nicht der erste...

    Bin gestern diesen Weg gewandert mit dem Romika-Weg im Anschluß. Kann diesen RW sehr empfehlen: er führt über u.a. bequeme Waldwege, schmale Pfade und (aktuell hochgewachsen) Wiesenwege. Mit zahlreichen Aus- und Weitblicken und momentan mit Ginsterblüten & Rapsfeldern ist der Weg ein wahres (Natur-)Vergnügen für Auge & Seele!!!

    Sind die Tour gestern (27.09.21) gelaufen. Sehr abwechslungsreiche Wanderung. Waren offensichtlich die einzigen unterwegs, sind keiner Menschenseele begegnet. Wege sind super gepflegt und toll ausgeschildert. Karte oder Navi sind nicht erforderlich. Sehr schön
