Before the hike from Forbach to Bad Rotenfels, I looked at the map material on Komoot again to better trace the route of the Murgtal-Wanderweg. In retrospect, this was successful; during the hike, I compared it with the trail markings - as far as possible. On today's route, a special sign for the Murgtal

I divided the hike from the source to the mouth into three daily stages. Weeks ago, with Elke, I had already walked the third stage - from Renchen to the Rhine near Lichtenau.
