Safety instructions

f you feel certain sections of the trail are impractical for you, you should avoid them. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural trails can become muddy and slippery. Especially in autumn, be careful that fallen leaves on the ground can obscure uneven surfaces, roots, stones, or holes in the trail. You must expect these types of disruptions to the trail when hiking. Although the trail is very well marked throughout, for safety reasons, you should always carry a suitable hiking map with you or download the free "Experience Rhineland-Palatinate" app.

Equipment

Wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate, practical clothing that protects you from cold and wet weather, as well as heat and sun. Bring plenty of fluids. Rest stops are not available everywhere. Please wear hiking boots suitable for the trail, which offer sufficient grip even on slippery and steep, rocky, and uneven paths.

Tips

At the "Sonnenhof" in Irmtraut (approx. 700 m from the start/finish), there is a self-service kiosk with regional products and refreshments.
