The route is 11.8 km long and classified as moderately difficult. With breaks, you should plan 5 to 6 hours. The Zitronenkrämerkreuz path runs mostly past the Enscher and Mehringer forest areas, and only in the section from Ensch up to the Zitronenkrämerkreuz do you pass through the idyllic woodland landscapes.

The path is signposted with "R 6".
