An exceptionally quiet hike in memory of my grandfather.
Only at the beginning in the hiking car park were two construction workers to be seen. Near the Vierherrenwald forester's house, another man was taking care of the replanting. No hikers, but also no infrastructure, neither benches, signposts, etc., of course no place to eat either.

Am 20.06.2015 liefen meine Freundin und ich in fünf Tagen die 152 Kilometer.
Zwar kamen wir am dritten Tag bei Morbach in ein Unwetter,wurden aber Tags drauf mit einem herrlichem Fernblick vom Erbeskopf belohnt.
Unterm Strich, eine tolle Tour mit nicht all zu anstrengenden Anstiegen.
Nur das Tagespensum von ca.30 Kilometern war zu viel.
