The Cherry Route starts at the old train station in Schönenberg-Kübelberg (connection to the Glan-Blies Cycle Route). It leads gently uphill through the Kohlbach valley to Frohnhofen, mostly on designated cycle paths alongside the road, or sometimes off-road.
After Frohnhofen, it traverses the high points of the Oster, with some sharp climbs and steep descents, before ending up in the Ostertal valley en route to Osterbrücken.
