Coming from the hiking car park on the L 763, you first have to walk a little bit north on the Eggeweg. After about 50 meters the trail turns right and leads slightly uphill. Once at the top, thanks to the trees that fell victim to the storms and the bark beetle, you have a beautiful view of the forest on the Karlsschanze. Then it goes steeply downhill until the trail meets the L 763 again. The steep section is interspersed with many relatively smooth stones. In damp weather you should be careful here. If you drive uphill in a different direction, you have serious problems with traction in damp conditions and may have to push.Together with the following sections "Trail am Eggekreuz" and "Trail descent to Willebadessen train station" forms one of the few pleasant options to get to the Eggeweg on a trail from Willebadessen. Most of the other trails in the area are too steep to climb well in the uphill. This is possible here, however, because even the steepest passages are still easy to drive. In the opposite direction, the 3 trails naturally offer a fine descent pleasure over about 2 km.
