The hike of about 8 km in length begins at the sports field in Pellingen, the highest point of the hike. It leads over soft, partly slightly gravelled paths in a clockwise direction first to Karlskopf, then through the forest up to the vineyards between Krettnach and Oberemmel, where there are always wonderful views of the Moselle and the South Eifel. From the Oberemmel Chapel, where there is a sensory bench with a magnificent view, the path then steadily rises again, partly quite steeply, back to the starting point.
