This route connects Rheinbach with Bonn, traversing the extensive Kottenforst nature reserve. The path structure features wide, straight avenues originally designed as hunting lanes for the electors of Cologne, known locally as "Kaiserstraßen." Hikers and cyclists pass through deciduous woodlands dominated by old oak and beech trees. The terrain remains largely flat to gently rolling, with a surface consisting primarily of fortified gravel and compacted forest soil. A notable waypoint is the Bahnhof Kottenforst, a station building situated directly within the forest.
