The route starts at the hiking signboard by the Volksbank in Feudingen.

We walk a short distance to the left towards Feudingen train station, turn left and follow the F6 marker.

After a short climb past the old slate quarry, we hike following the F6 signs towards the nature reserve "Hermannsteg". Above the path, there is a view of the villages Steinbach, Rüppershausen, Oberndorf, and Rückershausen.

The path passes through the village of Rüppershausen and leads us towards the model airfield above Oberndorf. It’s worth making a short stop there to enjoy the panoramic view of the surrounding villages. Then it continues to the Rückershausen ski area with its unique winter sports facility in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, consisting of three jumps, a natural ski jump, a matt jump, and a small jumping facility. At the hiking car park, seats in front of the ski hut invite you to rest and catch a view of the three jumping facilities.

The path continues through the village of Weide to the industrial area "In den Espen". From there, the path leads us a short way uphill. Passing the Tannenwald Stadium, we then pass the adjacent school center of Feudingen. It then goes past the memorial with a view of Feudingen and the Protestant Martinskirche from the mid-13th century, which is a listed building, back to the starting point at the Volksbank Feudingen.
