To all those hiking the E11, I came from the direction of Karlstrauch and wanted to take the trail in this direction, as the E11 runs parallel to the Hagenbach stream here. Don't even try it, and don't think the trail will get better ;) I wandered around in the undergrowth for 5-10 minutes hoping it would get better, but it didn't, and I had to walk all the way back.
