Perfect Indian summer weather. We started the circular route in Volkmannsgrün near Schauenstein. We really enjoyed the first 6 km, with its great views. The last 3 km, unfortunately, led through a lot of undergrowth and forest. I was glad I was wearing long trousers. Still, it was a nice route with few benches.
