    Schöne Nachmittagsrunde mit tollen Aussichten, es gibt viele Rastmöglichkeiten mit Bänken, aber wenig Schatten. Einkehren kann man mit schöner Aussicht am Hofgut Wißberg. Es gibt viele Weinbergswege, ein paar Pfade und stellenweise Schotterwege. Und im Sommer gibt's Sonntags an der Kreuzkapelle sogar einen Weinausschank.

    Am Anfang geht es immer hoch und runter. Belohnt wird man von tollen Ausblicken. Am Golfplatz obacht vor tieffliegenden Golfbällen ( das war jetzt nicht ernst gemeint ). Die letzte Hälfte des Weges ist einfach zu laufen. Im Sommer kann es sehr heiß sein, da nur wenig Schattenplätze vorhanden sind. Zum Ausruhen viele Bänke entlang des Weges.
