    Mit 8,4 km ist es zwar nicht der komplette Eifelosaurus-Wanderweg, aber trotzdem sehr schön durch Wälder und Felder mit einigen Aussichtspunkten. Insgesamt sind 8 (!) Bänke (inkl. der Bank im Bushäuschen Basberg) zum Ausruhen unterwegs vorhanden. Mittlerweile ist der Weg auch gut ausgeschildert, manchmal weist ein weißer Pfeil auf dem Asphalt die Richtung. Heute war der Weg auch gut freigeschnitten, was nicht immer der Fall ist. Selbst als Anwohner ist er durchaus 5 Sterne wert :-)))
