The hike is about 17 km long and is a day hike.
Due to some steep ascents, such as the climb to Dietzenley or Nerother Kopf, hikers should be experienced.
The route runs, except for the descent into the village via hiking trail No. 6, along the premium Eifelsteig trail and thus on natural paths and hiking trails. Overall, the route offers a pleasant mix of forest and open areas. Especially notable are the sections around Nerother Kopf with numerous rest benches, the beautiful meadow paths around Neroth, as well as Nerother Kopf itself. The total distance is about 17 km, with 470 meters of elevation gain. These are gently spread out, the steepest ascent being the climb up Nerother Kopf. Mostly firm and unpaved (often meadow) paths, beautiful trails around Nerother Kopf, and some short paved sections in the villages.

The hike is not very long at about 11 km, but due to some strenuous sections, especially on the way to the Munterley plateau, hikers should be experienced. The experience circuit mostly follows the Eifelsteig trail and thus runs on natural, unpaved paths. Only when passing through Gerolstein does the hiker walk on paved paths and roads, which are, however, almost all low-traffic or traffic-free.

Hiking the Gerolsteiner Dolomites, a Devonian limestone reef, is a pleasure for every hiker. The Munterley provided refuge to Stone Age people, and Celts and Romans built temples and sanctuaries here. The coral reef, which once lay in the sea, today forms the dolomite rock faces that are now the symbol of Gerolstein. On the edge of the Munterley plateau lies the Buchenloch Cave, formed over 1.8 million years ago within the rock massif. Since this cave is located in a beech forest, it received its corresponding name. With a length of about 30 m and a width of about 4 m, the main entrance of the Buchenloch Cave is very distinctive. From Hustley and Munterley, the hiker experiences great views of Gerolstein from about 100 m height.
