May 1, 2024,Von Wanderparkplatz Suental über den Fingerweg zur Würtenberger Bank und entlang des ehemaligen Kolonnenweges zurück nach Ilsenburg.

A beautiful hike on easy paths. From the beginning, the trail was always slightly uphill on the Fingerweg and Mittelbergweg to the Würtenberger Bank. The Würtenberger Bank is a good little place to take a break. Then it goes downhill on the former Kolonnenweg and back to the starting point.
