The start is at the Laurentius Chapel above Herschbach. Along the edge of the nature reserve "Viehbachwiese," the path continually ascends through a forest area to the Bitzberg. From there, the route leads between the village of Schenkelberg and basalt quarry towards Hartenfels with a view of the castle ruins. Before entering a forest area, a little off the path is the natural monument "Zehntgarben." On the return to Herschbach along the Waagweiher, it goes through the "Laurentiusallee" back to the starting point.
Information about any restrictions or closures of the route can be requested from the Verbandsgemeinde Selters, Tel: 02626/764-0.
