In complete seclusion, the hiking trail leads along narrow, natural paths across the heights of the Black Forest highlands around Weiskirchen. The route passes through the "Wahnbachtal" nature reserve and the "Behlengraben" ravine. Also along the way is the Herberloch, an old quarry that has developed into a natural habitat over the years.

Passing the natural monuments "Iltisfels" and "Hoher Fels," the trail climbs steadily upwards. Sometimes steep, sometimes gentler, the path winds its way along narrow forest trails towards the Schimmelkopf. Below the Schimmelkopf, at 694 meters one of the highest elevations in Saarland, the trail meanders through the woods. Solitude and silence reign in this seemingly endless forest.
