The start of the route needs reviewing: the starting point is in the car park of a municipal lodge, which is closed off by a barrier; what’s more, it forces you to walk back down towards the hamlet of Eckersberg to follow part of the road you had driven up.
Otherwise, it’s a pleasant walk with lovely views of the Petit and Grand Honneck.

A lovely, unpretentious walk through the woods, in the shade. A few lovely views, with encounters with goats, cows, a beautiful donkey and a harmless wild boar 😁
