    Der Weg ist im Bereich des Urbachtals und des Rheinsteigs bis Dörscheid sehr schön und verdient dort 5 Sterne. Allerdings sind die Zu- und Abwege gar nicht ansprechend. Deshalb insgesamt 4 Sterne. Leider sind auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Dörscheid fast alle Wegweiser beschmiert. Eine Navigation ist aber möglich. Aktuell sind ein Teil der Wege im Urbachtal mit einer Planierraupe bearbeitet worden und wenig naturnah, dafür aber umso schlammiger.

    Wir sind beim Abstieg den Wispertrail gegangen. Tolle Blicke auf die Burg und am Ende noch durch die Schlucht zurück zum Friedhof.
