February 16, 2022,Südheide Ellerndorfer Wacholderheide und Rundwanderweg Eimke - Ellerndorf

Brief feedback on the route:
The large loop, i.e. the Ellerndorf/Eimke circular tour, is NOT recommended due to the lack of signs in some areas and especially in the area of the bridge (image 1) due to the path that is overgrown with thorns and other undergrowth or is not recognizable.
