So... If you don't exert yourself too much, it takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. We wore shorts, but I would recommend long pants because it sometimes goes through the forest 😉 Best, Sophie

Nice hut with a place to rest. But you can't go into the hut!

Good and tasty, but not (anymore) very cheap.😉 Nevertheless, you should be happy that such a restaurant still exists in the Hunsrück and is doing quite well. You should just look at the Simmern town center.. 😏
