Simply a wonderful trail 🤩 I was wondering in between if it's S0 or S1, but in the end it's definitely an S2

About three years ago, some sections were cleared. Since then, some of these areas have become densely overgrown and therefore difficult to navigate. Overall, however, the trail is still worth the effort.

In autumn 2024, the aging black shelter was replaced with a new structure. A panoramic lounger was also installed to better enjoy the view all the way to the Siegquelle spring on the Ederkopf in the Rothaargebirge.
