    Überraschend abwechslungsreicher Weg. Keine eintönigen Forststraßen, sondern eher Pfade oder Waldwege. Gut ausgeschildert. Infotafeln unterwegs zur vorgeschichtlichen Besiedlung.

    Schöne Route, besonders der Anfang ist an sonnigen Tagen zu empfehlen. Das Ende im Wald ist leider nichts besonderes mehr.
