Roll out of Homburg and over 95.8 km, climbing 977 m along the way. First up is the castle ruin Hohenburg, then the Closenbruch nature reserve, before the Schmitshausen lookout tower. Two more nature reserves follow, Hausgiebel and Pottschütthöhe, and you finish through the Bliesaue between Blieskastel and Bliesdalheim. The surface is nearly all paved, with just 1% unpaved, and the loop brings you back to Homburg.
