Beautiful route with changing landscapes, from shaded forest and undergrowth to small villages and bright field paths. No restrictions due to privately owned waterfront properties. Campsites keep access to the water free for everyone. Many bathing spots. All villages offer places to eat. We set off at 12:40 pm from Ferchesar and returned to the starting point at 7:30 pm. We used about 1 hour for breaks. There is a small section of traveled roads to be walked on. People there are very considerate, and the cars drive very generously around pedestrians, it seemed to us.

The village church of Hohennauen has valuable Renaissance furnishings (altar and pulpit). A high-quality carved altar from the 15th century and a pulpit altar from the 18th century can be found in the church of Ferchesar.
