Long, scenic, and varied. The professional route is the most challenging of the five tours on "Day of the Climbs." It follows the complete Kettwig Panorama Trail, which was opened in 2020, and truly lives up to its name.

... sets off on the PanoramaSteig at 6:15 a.m. in Essen-Werden, although that was actually a little too early, because due to our lack of local knowledge we had to switch on the lamp on our smartphones after just one kilometer, as the narrow, downward path led a little into the unknown without light. 😉

We hiked the trail at the weekend after the Baldeneysteig in two day stages (Werden-Kettwig and Kettwig-Werden) and I can only confirm what "visitessen" wrote, although the asphalted sections didn't seem that long to me. All in all, a very beautiful and recommendable trail.
