Overall, a nice loop. I particularly enjoyed the middle section. You walk a lovely stretch along the ridge trail. The trail follows the former border between Nassau and Prussia.

First bigger round with the new hiking shoes and insoles. 👍
On the way I had to improvise a bit, because not all of the indicated paths were available or accessible.
Still a nice round.
