    Ein sehr schöner und ruhiger Wanderweg, überwiegend Wald- und Schotterwege, die sehr angenehm zu gehen sind. Lediglich ein kurzer Abschnitt muss laut Plan an einer Staatsstraße gegangen werden (Peterskirchen Richtung Marschalling), hier habe ich jedoch die Wiese auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite genutzt und bin dank großer Steine über den Bach gestiegen, um dann nur ein paar letzte Meter an der Straße zu gehen. Es gibt ein paar schöne Aussichtspunkte, man trifft kaum Menschen. Man durchquert zwei Wälder, es gibt daher mehr ungeschützten Bereich (v.a. im Sommer) als Schatten bzw. geschützten Raum. Bin den Weg (ohne Pause) auf 1:40 Std gegangen, also durchaus im Sommer nach Feierabend noch machbar.
