http://www.sgv-bergischesland.de/wanderweg.aspx?wegId=199

Covering 14.7 km, this is a substantial hike requiring a reasonable base fitness. Most walkers complete it in about 3 hours and 16 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. Follow the Balken waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
