The tour is only conditionally recommended. After the lime works, a footpath follows through chest-high nettles and thorny blackberry bushes, impassable without a knife/machete.

The tour is beautiful and pleasant to walk. The terrain is very varied. It goes over field and forest paths but also through a beautiful ravine. In the Maisbachtal, the route runs along the edge of a huge water catchment basin. Despite Sunday and dry weather, only 2 couples came towards us. The area doesn't seem to be that crowded.
