The hike starts and ends at the sports field in St. Wendel-Winterbach. It follows the dream loop "5-Weiher-Tour" counterclockwise, which is why the ponds are found in the first half of the hike. Unfortunately, the ponds are apparently privately owned and not accessible for use. Another "unfortunately" is the destruction of nature caused by the construction of wind turbines: their erection always leads to the expansion of existing or creation of new paths; in Alsweiler/Bliesen, they have so far proceeded somewhat more carefully, as these accesses are (still?) not asphalted, but nevertheless - a wide wound.
