The hiking trail has some very nice little features and cultural and historical sights. Fantastic views open up again and again, which characterize this path and justify the addition of the name “Panoramaweg Rammelfangen”. It goes past fields, meadows, through bushes and sometimes rustic forests. Small information boards repeatedly convey interesting information about the landscape.

Zieht man einen vergleich mit der Traumschleife Vauban-Steig, die sich in der nähe befindet, und nur mit 72 Punkten bewertet wurde, fragt …
