Simply beautiful. We walked it on the last weekend of September. It showcases the small-scale diversity of the landscape, sparse deciduous forests, dark coniferous forests (fairytale forests), open passages with the eponymous juniper trees, and lean grasslands, as well as numerous small villages along the way. Pension Stauber in Hohenburg, Marktplatz 28, is the ideal guesthouse for a halfway stop.
