This route climbs steadily for the first 6.7 km up to the Idarkopf (from 390m to 745m above sea level). After that, it goes slightly downhill continuously for almost 10 km.  After reaching the "Heartlandranch" in the valley of the Idarbach, follow the markings of the Traumschleife "Via Molarum," the most interesting part of the route.

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.

    Schöne Wanderung durch den Wald, auch bei heißen Temperaturen im Sommer gut machbar. Highlight ist natürlich der Aussichtsturm, wir konnten bis nach Koblenz gucken.

    Wir haben diese Runde in entgegengesetzter Richtung gemacht und nach dem Highlight - dem Idarkopfturm - um eine kleine Schleife Richtung Stipshausen erweitert. Der neue Turm ist absolut sehenswert und mit seiner aufwendigen Holz-Stahl-Konstruktion architektonisch sehr ansprechend! An klaren Tagen bietet sich von oben eine atemberaubende Rundumsicht (hierfür 5 Sterne!). Hinweistafeln zu den Himmelsrichtungen mit Orten und Sehenswertem wären eine tolle Ergänzung. Auch Angaben zum Bauwerk selbst hätten uns interessiert (kommt ja alles vielleicht noch...). Die Beschilderung der Wanderwege ist spärlich und/oder leicht zu übersehen. Zudem sind die Forstwege durch schweres Gerät zum Teil sehr ausgefahren mit tiefen, nassen Furchen. Der Startpunkt, Wanderparkplatz an der K 24, ist wenig einladend: Wandertafel, Mülltonne, Tisch und Bänke bieten einen erbärmlichen Anblick und sollten - wenn nicht erneuert -, besser entfernt werden.
