Five streams and an idyllic Burren and hill landscape: the namesake of the path awaits the hikers. In addition, there is a ridge and two old quarries. Forest windows offer views into the Saar valley, to Lorraine in the Black Forest High Forest, and into the Schaumberger Land.

Short descents and ascents with constant changes of direction lead deep into the forest at the beginning. On winding paths you reach the ridge at Lanzenkopf.

The next destination is the so-called "Judenburren." The Judenburren was part of the Westwall fortification. Various spots and forest windows offer views into the Saar valley, to Lorraine in the Black Forest High Forest, and into the Schaumberger Land.

At the old border line is a rest area with an exceptional view into the Saar valley up to the heights of Berus. Also visible are the mountain heaps of Püttlingen and Ensdorf, the expansive Warndtwald, the power plant in Ensdorf, the industrial facilities of Carling in Lorraine, the Dillinger hut, and the forested mountain ridge of Limberg rising behind it.

The exit from the forest at Leikenberg is connected with a distant view into Schaumberger Land and the Schaumberg. For a long stretch, the route runs through open meadows and fields.

The path was rated with 60 experience points by the German Hiking Institute.
