• For the majority of the way, the trails follow existing footpaths and are marked with brown signs. In each case, the starting and ending point is a postbus stop.
• The individual houses are labelled with brown signs. These show the same numbers as described in the “Diemigtaler-Hausweg” (Diemigtal House Trail) flyer and in the "Diemtigtal Nature Park" app.
