Covering 10.3 km, this is a substantial hike requiring a reasonable base fitness. Most walkers complete it in about 2 hours and 17 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the Rotes Rad trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
