The detour to the "Heunebuckel" guard post is a no-brainer, as the remains are barely visible.
The last two pictures show the museum in Wagenschwend, which is well worth a visit, and its opening hours. It contains many original finds from the Limes region.

Very nice, comfortable hiking trail with hardly any inclines.
The first three kilometers run through dense forest in the shade. From Balsbach onwards, sections in the forest alternate with open meadows and fields.
Especially on the open stretches, you are rewarded with fantastic views all around.
