Luckily, most of the route went through the shady forest. The path repeatedly led along the Angerbach, where children were playing, adults were wading through the stream to …

The Auermühle is a popular destination. There is very little parking for hikers. Therefore, you should plan this route a bit and start in Eggerscheidt.
