Safety information
For example, between Lisbon and Porto the infrastructure is not yet well developed. The stages from one accommodation to the next can be correspondingly long and adventurous.Tips and suggestions
The hiking book "Protected natural areas around Deckenpfronn" with many additional infos about this and seven other circular hikes has been available since April 1, 2021 from the author Herbert Klein in Deckenpfronn (contact: herbyklein@aol.com) for 10 euros (plus 2 euros shipping if applicable). Another point of sale is the Deckenpfronn municipal administration (temporarily post agency).

Roadbook
At almost 17 km, the Border Path route is the longest circular hike among my walking suggestions.
The start and finish point is the Border Path Footbridge at the southeastern boundary of the district, as this is where the official numbering of the boundary stones begins. However, hikers are of course free to decide where they want to start this circular hike.
Please note that access paths must be planned to reach the route:
Start (with parking options) Length of access paths
Community center (usual start) approx. 3 km in all directions
Village community Tennental 1.3 km (to start at the Border Path Footbridge)
Egelsee 300 m southwards
Car park at B 296 (Lerchenberg) 300 m southwards
Shooting range, glider airfield each 20 m
The hike can be ended at any time.
For the way back to the village, almost 3 km should almost always be planned.
As the map shows (map view selection "Topo"), the circular route does not always run directly along the border.
Some border courses that we avoid could certainly be walked during the vegetation-poor season. However, many are only forest trails that can be found on no hiking map and are therefore unsuitable for this hiking suggestion.
Unfortunately, many of the still existing boundary stones are located exactly in these zones.
