Bequeme Rundwanderung in der Ebene mit geringen Höhenmetern auf überwiegend gut begehbaren Wegen. Die Route führt mit einen großen Anteil durch den Wald oder entlang von Waldrändern durch Bachtäler und kleine Wegstücke übers Feld. Sehr abwechslungsreich mit einigen schönen Ausblicken in die rheinhessische Hügellandschaft. Ein schöner Fischweiher lädt zum Verweilen ein. Prädikat: leicht.
