Description

On the well over 22 km of this route, there is much to discover. Plan more time to explore sights such as the planetarium in Sessenbach and the ceramics at the ceramic station Grenzau. The route leads through the forest and historic locations.

Your route starts in Grenzau at Hotel Zugbrücke and follows the German Limes cycle route northeast. The circular route starts winding and flat, masters the climb to Kammerforst and leads uphill through the forest. Downhill it goes to Wittgert with a view of the enchanting Sayntal. Along the Saynbach you continue and overcome the ascent to the watershed between Brexbach and Saynbach. You pass places like Wirscheid and Sessenbach on your way.
