Itinerary

From the starting point at the Heringer Millen parking lot, the path initially follows the road for a while and then turns right into the forest. From here, the path runs through the forest, parallel to the Kaasselbaach. The path is lined with the sandstone rocks typical of the region. The trail constantly goes slightly uphill until about two-thirds of the way, where the highest point of the hike is reached. From here, it goes slightly downhill again. The highlight of the path awaits on the last stretch. Here, the ruins of an old refuge castle invite exploration. From Heringer Castle, the path leads back to the starting point.
