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 wooded hike to Neroth begins in front of the spacious designed Tourist Information Gerolsteiner Land GmbH at Brunnenstraße 10. This Eifelsteig stage starts in Gerolstein with the ascent to the Löwenburg ruins. Then the hiking trail leads through forest to the Dietzenley. The path continues through old tree stands to Neroth, initially circling the village of mousetrap traders and leading steeply up to Nerother Kopf. The return route to Neroth begins with hiking trail No. 6. The Eifelsteig is left and after about 1.5 km of hiking, the trail reaches the village center with the Mousetrap Museum and Cafe Mausefalle.
