From the church in Baar-Wanderath, the path leads through fields, meadows, and wooded hills with beautiful panoramic views to Welschenbach. There is a gentle ascent through the forest, then open fields again, meadows, and great natural paths. It gently descends through heathland and forest and field paths into the Achterbach valley. Along the lively babbling brook, the path leads to the place of contemplation - Black Madonna with a fountain and a small bridge. Together with the Jodokus Pilgrim Way, the path follows the Achterbach (detours to the impressive St. Jost Pilgrimage Chapel are possible). Back at the junction, the path continues upwards in the Nitzbach valley, along beautiful slate rocks. At Welschenbach, the path leads into denser forest, passing an old quarry. After crossing the brook and climbing, there is a great view of Virneburg at the forest edge. The path then goes uphill through meadow passages, then to the juniper heath on the Hohe Warte. The path encircles the Hohe Warte and then leads down its western edge. In the valley, it soon goes uphill again on a natural path back to Wanderath.
